Thanks for your answer. I tried it out and it even works without the
relay_domains setting. Is the transport-setting maybe equivilant to
relay_domains? Otherwise I can't imagine why mails are not rejected.

From the documentation:
| The virtual-alias.domain anything entry is required for a virtual
| alias domain. Without this entry, mail is rejected with
| "relay access denied", or bounces with "mail loops back to
| myself".

I see, so Postfix-style virtual aliases are not applicable here.

Ciao,
Thomas
