Perhaps i wasn't clear then. The "odd" behaviour i was referring to was
the bit where smtpd was looking up a *remote* address in
virtual_alias_maps when attempting to *send* an email. Debugging, or no,
the mails were dropped. I'm fully aware that it's more than a little bit
likely that i'm simply without clue here, but this seems to me to be
something more than cryptic debugging statements.

As i suggested earlier, maybe the killed processes had something to do
with it. But i still don't understand why virtual_alias_maps should be
involved when sending mail out.
