That's because it was never implemented. Absence from the Postfix
documentation can be inferred to mean that the feature does not exist.

You need to understand that alias_maps is ONLY used by the local(8)
delivery agent.

The address you gave it is using the virtual(8) delivery agent.

Incomplete question. Insert "virtual mailbox addresses" above. And BTW,
this is indeed a FAQ here, where did you look?
mydestination = [ ... what you needed before ... ], localhost,
localhost.$mydomain
virtual_alias_maps containing:
addr...@virtual_mailbox al...@localhost
virtual_mailbox_maps containing:
addr...@virtual_mailbox anything here
alias_maps containing:
alias: |"/path/to/your/command and arguments"
See aliases(5) for the details of running commands from an alias. Offer
void where taxed or prohibited by law, or if you failed to build any
necessary files with postmap(1)/newaliases(1).

This setting removes the need for "localhost.$mydomain" as I gave you
above.

Know what this one means. See postconf.5.html#default_privs .

Why?

No, take this out.

"virtdomains" included in mydestination? You seem to be very confused
here. Did you try to follow some HOWTO or tutorial which you did not
understand?
*If* you really need virtual mailboxes (small sites and beginners
generally do not!) you should follow the real documentation:
http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html
and understand the choices you have:
http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html
My guess is that you would have been better off forgetting about
virtual mailboxes and just using the BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.
Virtual alias domains can easily provide namespace separation for
multiple domains, still using local(8) delivery.

Wrong. Most sites should just unset this. Anyway, $mynetworks is a
network list, not a domain list.

This looks very odd too. Is "virtaccess" what you used in place of
doing virtual_mailbox_domains/maps the documented way?

Why? What's in here?

Such a low GID/UID is an unusual choice. Not necessarily wrong per se,
but you should know why you chose it.

Offlist mail to this address is discarded unless
"/dev/rob0" or "not-spam" is in Subject: header
