I have virtual_mailbox_maps in use with reject_unlisted_recipent and use
virtual_alias_maps to translate a validated address into a single matching

virtual_alias_maps map any address (even non-local one) to one or more
addresses:
http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html#virtual
virtual_mailbox_maps map addresses in virtual domains into pathnames where
mailboxes are located:
http://www.postfix.org/virtual.8.html
so, they have quite different usage.
For example:
/usr/local/etc/postfix/vmailbox
validu...@example.com whatever
/usr/local/etc/postfix/vuser
validu...@example.com dovecotu...@example.com
In my case, these two tables will always match on the LHS.
Just wondering whether there any reason not to use the virtual_alias table for
both purposes? It would make synchronisation with the dovecot users DB just a
little easier.
you don't need synchronization, and you apparently don't need
virtual_alias_maps in this case.
virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/vuser
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/vuser
(Mail sent directly to dovecotu...@example.com should be rejected.)
you must take care of this differently.
