Sure.

The virtual domain is os.org.za, the recipient is
damyantios.org.za, and the domain is "seperated" from other
domains by domainheader as the right hand side of the map:

137=[rootkg] /usr/local/etc/postfix# egrep '(os.org.za domainheader|damyanti)'
/etc/mail/virtusertable
+ egrep '(os.org.za domainheader|damyanti)' /etc/mail/virtusertable
os.org.za domainheader
damyantios.org.za damyantichain.freebsd.os.org.za

Ok, here is the example prior to local_recipient_maps :

121=[rootkg] /usr/local/etc/postfix# postconf | grep local_recipient_maps
+ postconf
+ grep local_recipient_maps
local_recipient_maps =
122=[rootkg] /usr/local/etc/postfix# telnet 0 25
+ telnet 0 25
Trying 0.0.0.0...

This is with local_recipient_maps set to the suggested entry :

126=[rootkg] /usr/local/etc/postfix# postconf | grep local_recipient_maps
+ postconf
+ grep local_recipient_maps
local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps, unix:passwd.byname
127=[rootkg] /usr/local/etc/postfix# telnet 0 25
+ telnet 0 25

This is with $virtual_maps added :

131=[rootkg] /usr/local/etc/postfix# postconf | grep local_recipient_maps
+ postconf
+ grep local_recipient_maps
local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps, unix:passwd.byname, $virtual_maps

It isn't; I've attached an edited output of postconf -n.

local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps, unix:passwd.byname, $virtual_maps
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, /etc/mail/whoarewe
mynetworks = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32
relay_domains = $mydestination, $mynetworks, hash:/etc/mail/relay
virtual_maps = hash:/etc/mail/virtusertable

In this case, /etc/mail/whoarewe lists several names the machine
is known as. The domain (os.org.za) is also included. From what
I understand, it should be.

Adding $virtual_maps to local_recipient_maps doesn't appear to
break anything, but I was just wondering why the problem exists.
