Yeah, it turns out that I had made an obvious mistake with my virtual
[dot] cf files....
After walking through it with postmap, I found my error... I guess all I
needed a little sleep for a clean...

In any event, it worked since yesterday night...

However, your comment about "/var/spool/postfix is the Postfix queue
directory. Don't use
that directory for mail storage." puzzles me... I use
"/var/spool/postfix/virtual" as my virtual base.

Any reason why I should change it?

Thanks for your reply...

Postfix delivers messages wherever you want. If you want
Postfix to deliver messages to userexample.com to the
/var/spool/postfix/virtual/example.com/user mailbox, make sure
the virtual_mailbox_maps lookup returns something suitable
(exactly what it should return depends on virtual_mailbox_base).
If you don't want the mailbox to be in maildir format, make
sure the lookup result doesn't end with a slash.

/var/spool/postfix is the Postfix queue directory. Don't use
that directory for mail storage.
