By doing the virtual_alias_maps *before* instead of after the content
filter, so that the content filter sees the final envelope recipient.
This is done by by NOT having ("receive_override_options" with
"no_address_mappings") before the content filter and by having
("receive_override_options" with "no_address_mappings") after the
content filter. See http://www.postfix.org/FILTER_README.html for
a few examples.
