All domains are virtual, I managed to pass all mails to maildrop, it
works. The problem is that in this configuration, mail are not relayed
to other hosts when the user configure mail redirection.
A user can tell : keep the received mail in my mail account, and send a
copy to anyoneanyhost.com
That's this fonctionnality that doesn't works anymore.

I noticed that when I configure domains to be virtual (with
virtual_mailbox_domains setting), the mails have a
test_thehost.commx1.mybox.com shape.
When I don't do this setup, mails have a testthehost.com shape.
Maybe it's related to the relay problem.

I would like to always use maildrop for delivering, but mail redirection
don't works anymore when I do that.

You're true, I can set local_transport to maildrop, and try to setup
maildrop to deal correctly with test_thehost.commx1.mybox.com mail form.
But I don't understand why mail redirection doesn't work anymore when I
set domains virtual and mail have a form of testthehost.com shape.

I join my postconf -n

Thank you very much for your help.
