Thanks for the heads up. I will do that.

Context matters. Piecing the puzzle together from isolated fragments of
separate messages is too much to expect of those willing and able to help.
Therefore, you may need to repeat yourself, by posting a single message,
containing all the relevant information, that is, per:
http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail
- Output of: postconf -nf
- Output of: postconf -Mf
- Logs showing what happened when you tested
- A brief note stating what you expected instead
A quick glance over the thread, shows that:
- You have wildcard rules, keep in mind that virtual expansion
is recursive, and the RHS of each rule is subject to further
lookups until either there's no match, or the result is the
same as the input.
- You don't qualify your virtual(5) RHS values with an explicit
domain. That's generally unwise. They'll get implicitly
qualified with $myorigin, and perhaps then match some other
pattern in the PCRE table?
- Your regular expressions are sloppy, missing "^" and "$"
anchors, fail to escape literal "." as "\.", ... While
it may be simple to write regular expressions that match
a particular input pattern, it is more difficult to write
*correct* regular expressions that match *only* the desired
pattern and not also lots of other patterns that should not
be matched.
- You posted no logs that showed the unexpected results, with
a brief explanation of what you expected instead.
