  Ok, I'm not crazy (phew!), it turns out that I needed to have the
virtual_alias_maps setup on the delivery machines as well and have it
point to the same database that was used on the gateway machine. Either
I didn't understand that from someone's instructions, or its not really
mentioned anywhere. I thought about that at one point but I thought it
would cause a loop.

 So now I can send mail from one delivery host to another unix user on
another delivery host and it does its thing properly.

  But now I'm having trouble getting virtual mailboxes to delivery
right. Before I turned on virtual_alias_maps on the delivery hosts, I
was able to send e-mail to the virtual mailboxes through the gateway or
on the delivery host that it would go to, but now with
virtual_alias_maps turned on in the delivery host, I get the following
error when I try to send to a virtual mailbox.

<virtualuser%domain.comdeliveryhost.suso.org>): User unknown in virtual alias table

 I've replaced the actual values in this e-mail to keep them private.

 Can virtual_alias_maps and virtual_mailbox_maps work on the same
machine?

  Thanks,
  Mark
