Actually what works is having the "Sendmail-style" virtual
domain directed somewhere else via the transport table. This requires
no queue manager patches. The corresponding Postfix-style domain is a
synthetic byproduct of the stacked virtual map, that only manifests
itself for unknown users.
Specifically mail sent to User
morganstanley.com is either
rewritten to User
division.com (with morganstanley.com being one of the
valid divisions!). Mail for none of the domains in question is
delivered locally, they all have transport entries to forward the mail
to the appropriate division mail hubs. In fact mailbox_transport is set
to "error:Mailbox unavailable".
Again, this is just a technique that at the cost of delayed
bounces, creates a hybrid Sendmail-style/Postfix-style domain where
unknown users are bounced, but known users can resolve into the virtual
domain.
