That depends entirely on the delivery agent in use. Postfix delivery
agents local(8) and virtual(8) are different. For non-Postfix delivery
agents, see the documentation therefor.

Since you said "MySQL" I'll guess you might be using virtual(8). The
combined output of "postconf -h virtual_mailbox_base" and "postmap -q
userexample.com mysql:/path/to/your/virtual_mailbox_maps/query" would
do it.

How did you determine the intended recipient?

I wouldn't think so, at least not in any significant way.

Redirection?
