Configuring virtual mailboxes AND local account delivery under one domain name

Postfix 2.6.0 stable release candidate

Last night I have uploaded postfix-2.6.0-RC1, the first Postfix 2.6 stable release candidate. The documentation still needs some work, and depending on time I may still be able to slip in some small amount of new code. The biggest changes since Postfix 2.5 are: - Automatic stress-dependent behavio

Transport map lookup failures are fatal?

I apologize in advance if I'm being horribly dense, but I'm seeing something that doesn't feel right. In the event that a transport map lookup fails with a "host not found" error, Postfix is bouncing the message rather than treating it as a temporary error. For my test, I have the transport map:
