Alright, I think I can handle that solution, I'll give this a shot and see
what happens.

This was my problem, that messages to system users were being accepted
even though local_recipient_maps was $alias_maps, which was only
/etc/postfix/rtaliases. However, this is probably a non-issue as I can
implement the virtual address re-writing solution you provided above.

I will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the help,

Mark
