Hello group

I'm a bit puzzled here. I usually create new users first for Dovecot, then add 
to the configuration of Postfix the path to the relative maildir in 
virtual_mailbox_maps (the domain and other users for that virtual domain 
already exist). Now I forgot the last part for a couple of users I created 
recently, but still it seems everything is working fine. One new user that did 
not open his mail account so far got an email delivered just fine an Dovecot 
created all the mailbox file structure.

How did Postfix find where to deliver the mail if there was no path for that 
user in virtual_mailbox_maps?

If, as it seems, Postfix can construct the path by virtual_mailbox_domains (and 
maybe other variables), is there any reason why it would be better to still 
have virtual_mailbox_maps (maybe security wise)?

Thanks,
Juerg
