Matus UHLAR - fantomas:
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.
All Blacksmiths have dark skin.
All Negroes have dark skin.
All blacksmiths are negroes.
there are 5 classes described on
http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html
The local domain class.
The virtual alias domain class.
The virtual mailbox domain class.
The relay domain class.
The default domain class.
each of those sections describes different configuration variables used in
those classes.
virtual_alias_maps is only described in virtual alias domain class. if it
applies in other classes (as you said above, always), it should be probably
described outsideof those sections.
Or should I expect all of maps described in those sections
(local_recipient_maps, virtual_alias_maps, virtual_mailbox_maps,
relay_recipient_maps) to apply in all cases?
