Always? isn't that a contradiction to the referenced document that indicated
only domains in virtual_alias_domains are searched for virtual aliases?

Please cite the text that says 'only domains in virtual_alias_domains

virtual_alias_domains and virtual_alias_maps are described in
"The virtual alias domain class." section.
* Domain names are listed in virtual_alias_domains. The default value is
$virtual_alias_maps for Postfix 1.1 compatibility.
* Valid recipient addresses are listed with the virtual_alias_maps parameter.
The Postfix SMTP server rejects invalid recipients with "User unknown in
virtual alias table". The default value is $virtual_maps for Postfix 1.1
compatibility.
That lead me to think that virtual_alias_maps does not apply to other classes.
