You have configured Postfix to deliver messages to your domain to
virtual(8), but Postfix does not recognize the recipient address.
Review the lookup table configuration for virtual_mailbox_maps and
debug it with "postmap -q" BEFORE actually starting to use it with
Postfix.

Why? You will get into a lot less trouble if you follow the standard
recipe for virtual mailbox domains.

Leave local_transport alone.
List the domain(s) in virtual_mailbox_domains (assumes Postfix 2.0+).
Do not list the domain(s) in mydestination.

If you do this correctly, recipient validation will also work properly.
It doesn't work now since local_recipient_maps is empty and the domain
is considered local because it's listed in mydestination.
