No. Here are my steps:

1. virtual users

virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/sql/virtual_alias_maps.cf

I have then two rows in my mysql table:

userexample.com userexample.com
userexample.com userautoreply.example.com

2. transport

transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport

userautoreply.example.com user_autoreply:

3. master.cf

user_autoreply unix - n n - - pipe
        flags= user=admin argv=/usr/local/bin/user_autoreply.sh
${sender} ${recipient}

4. user_autoreply.sh

#!/bin/sh
mail -s "User's name" $1 < /etc/postfix/user_autoreply.txt

5. user_autoreply.txt

User no longer works here...
