Dear List Members!

I've fond postings about my problem but not really an elegant solution.
Several times 'sendmail style' virtual maps are mentioned. (Really just in
release 20010228 implemented? - It seems to run anyway with 19991231,
hmmm, may be even new snapshot the solution?)

If I have the following situation (and many others may have similar
environment, I think):

the only domain-mailserver - it's member of mydomain, of course:
(because of using cyrus IMAP server and simple windows mail client
machines with outlook)

server1.mydomain.com, IP 62.62.62.1 (example)
(DNS A record 'mail.mydomain.com' points to 62.62.62.1, and reverse zone
entry points to 'mail.mydomain.com', too. An additional A record for
'server1.mydomain.com' points to same IP.)

postfix (19991231) on server1 is instruct to react (answer) as
mail.mydomain.com.

  myhostname = mail.mydomain.com
  mydomain = mydomain.com
  myorigin = $mydomain

I want to use virtual domains only. Local Users don't exist but local
(IMAP-)mailboxes as targets for postfix/cyrus delivery.
Only mail addresses like firstname.lastnamemydomain.XXX should exist;
no XXXunnecessary.mydomain.XXX are wanted. (No human usually is
interested in machine names.)

My virtual(.db):

  # user1mydomain.com is the recipients address (senders
  # address too, of course)
  # user1 is the local mailbox user (no shell account, <- for this virtual
  # problem it doesn't matter)
  mydomain.com anything
  peter.gabrielmydomain.com pgabriel
  dolly.bustermydomain.com dbuster
  ...
  # rewrite net to com domain (same users)
  mydomain.net anything
  mydomain.net mydomain.com

Now I don't want to use
  mydestination = $mydomain
because of warnings in maillog referring to wrong use of VIRTUAL MAPS and
because I don't want the short name form to be accepted
("pgabrielmydomain.com").

But if I set
  mydestination = # (empty)
no local user (mailbox) is known - all the mails to virtual users out of virtual
map (envelope address rewritten to e.g. 'pgabrielmydomain.com') are
bounced with 'status=bounced (unknown user:
"pgabrielmail.mydomain.com")'.

What is my wrong thought?
Can anyone help me?

Regards, Hasso
