Since you haven't provided any logs or configuration (hint hint), I have
to guess here. Are you storing the names of the virtual mailbox domains
in a RDBMS or in LDAP, and use an incorrect query to find out if a
domain is a virtual mailbox domain? Specifically, do you have a query
like "SELECT * FROM domains" or filter like (domain=*)?
