Believe it or not, I have have actually tested both the sendmail
style and the postfix style virtual domains.

I repeat my recommendation to follow the instructions. In particular,
USE THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT COME WITH YOUR POSTFIX VERSION.

As Postfix changes over time, I actually spend time to update its
documentation. DO NOT USE OLD DOCUMENTATION WHEN CONFIGURING A
NEWER POSTFIX.

If something does not work, USE REAL EXAMPLES AND SHOW REAL LOGGING
AND RESULTS.

Thank you for paying attention.
