I did not quite catch what the lmtp-delivery means on your system.
Should I replace it with my username uolys?
I think it’s because the common case is delivering to user maildirs, so
this indicates to OpenSMTPD that it should run as this user when making
the delivery.
Basically, lmtp-delivery on my system is just a special user that is
given rights to access the LMTP socket: if your socket is accessible to
everyone, you can use nobody.
I have already got an email for my [email protected] after I added
“[email protected] uolys” to the virtual table. Unfortunately, I still do
not get mail for alias either by pointing them to [email protected] or to
uolys. Here is an excerpt from my alias table:
# //sala.online.lt/etc/mail/virtuals 644 uolys:mail
# //man.openbsd.org/table.5
# smtpctl update table virtuals
#
# Domain aliases in virtusertable of Sendmail:
# @sala.online.lt %[email protected]
# @online.lt %[email protected]
#
# Real usernames from the aliases table:
# uolys [email protected]
# gm [email protected]
# ab [email protected]
[email protected] [email protected]
[email protected] ab
[email protected] [email protected]
[email protected] [email protected]

Weird, neither the name to name@domain nor name@domain to name@domain
are documented on https://man.openbsd.org/table.5.
That’s strange, I don’t notice anything wrong with this at first glance
(except possibly the delivery user, but if it works for [email protected], it
should work for [email protected] as well).
At this point I would suggest enabling tracing and/or debug logs with
smtpctl, I think there is a tracing category that logs alias lookups
step by step.
