I will try to clarify more:

Mailgateway receiving is receiving mail for multiple domains. A lot of them
are old, but still frequently used by customers.
Function of mailgateway:
receive mail: scan it / spanassassin it, rewrite old domains to new domans,
and push it the final destination (internal mailserver).
This not a to strange configuration.
At the mailgateway I consolidate a dozen old (by mergers obsoleted, but by
customers still frequently used domains) 2 two domains.
Those to domains are the only domains the internal mailserver know about.
At the mailgateway all domains are in the relay_domains table
Old domains are rewritten to the new domains in the generic table like:
olddomain1 newdomain1
olddomain2 newdomain1
olddomain3 newdomain2
etc etc etc.

If I create a relay_recpients_maps table based on the virtual table of the
internal mailserver (which only knows about the 2 consolidated domains). All
incoming mail with the old domains (which needs te be rewritten by the
generic funstion) is rejected.
The relay_recipient_maps table is checked before the address rewritting,
which is causing the setup to fail

For completenes I include a postconf -n.txt ( with anonymized domains)

Please advise what the best solution is for this problem, I cannot imagine,
that I'm the first facing this problem.

John
