Then I have a suggestion. Extend your domains table by an additional
column "active" (Boolean). Then add an additional where clause to your
query:
WHERE active=1. Set active state of gmail to 0, the others to 1.
This will prevent the addition of gmail com to your virtual domains and
postfix does not recognise this as virtual domain, because of active
state 0.
This will also solve the transport problem.

But why don't you just secure your database, that no one else has access
to it? Then just leave away gmail.com. That would be much easier.
