giardia.yourweb.com.au - unrelated.

Aw that sucks. That means I have to add double entries for every list I
create, in aliases *and* virtuals.

No I meant those two. The point is that previously (under the rule of
Sendmail) mail sent to eu-itsueu.org.au just fell through the
virtusertable whereas Postfix is now demanding that it gets a positive
match.

Is there perhaps an option to make virtuals more optional. i.e. if user
does not exist in virtuals, fall through to aliases?

[..]

Hmm. The interoperation of virtuals and $mydestination is rather
confusing. I still don't understand why it is so important that virtual
domains are not also listed in $mydestination.

Thanks for the help,
Chuck
