Really?? I wouldn't expect that to work at
all. Virtual_alias_maps will only accept one or more email
addresses as a lookup result, not a transport:nexthop, not
a file, not a pipe-to-command.

However, you can add an entry like the one shown above to
your transport_maps, and that will work.

Apparently you added it to both virtual_alias_maps and
transport_maps.
