Hello Postfix users,

 I have found what appears to be a bug in Postfix-19991231. I have some
virtual maps set up:

mail# grep ^virtual_maps main.cf
virtual_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/virtual
mail# cat virtual
example.com customer_servicedifferent-example.net
example.net customer_servicedifferent-example.net

The problem is this: mail for the example.[com|net] domains gets rejected
with "relay access denied". According to main.cf, and the FAQ, the example
domains should be automatically included in $relay_domains.

The first thing I tried was explicitly adding $virtual_maps to
$relay_domains, like so:

        relay_domains = $mydestination, $virtual_maps

However, that made no difference, so I tried adding the domains
as literals:

        relay_domains = $mydestination, example.com, example.net

This works correctly. Am I doing something wrong, perhaps? I have
spent some time looking at the appropriate man pages and FAQ entries,
and it seems to me that Postfix is not behaving as documented.
