Yes, but not exactly, because ":[ccc.my.com]" does not override the
transport, only the nexthop. So "local" and "virtual" would continue
to work in a manner, be it with the wrong "nexthop", but some "LMTP"
deliveries could break (virtual_transport = lmtp) or "maildrop" transports
that use ${nexthop} ...

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.
