Thank you Wietse. That's not what I did but lead me to the apparant
problem, and fix.

For the archive to maybe help another beginner:

I properly did *not* have the virtual domain listed in mydestination.
And, I thought I had the virtual domain listed properly as well. So I
looked hard and see I had in main.cf:

virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_users
virtual_alais_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_domains

But, only one of those made it to the postfinger output (posted
previously - virtual_alias_maps made it). I did not catch that it was
missing from the running config. I don't know why it was missing. I
screwed around with the config, combining the 2 virtual files contents
into virtual_alias_maps like the included virtual file example and it
worked. So I split them back out and it still worked. Now,
postfinger reflects both config paramaters:

virtual_alias_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_domains
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_users

Maybe I missed redoing the db file, and it didn't get picked up on the
reload. Dunno. Anyway, it is working now. config was already
correct, just had a pilot error somewhere in there turning it on.

If the way it is set above is incorrect and I shoulld be using one
file, please let me know.

Thanks again for the time to help.
Scott
