Well I'm new in the company (and new to Postfix) and the system was already set, so I'm trying to understand how is this configured. I'm seeing a warning regarding this in the logfile that tells me that the domain name must not be listed in both virtual_mailbox_domains and relay_domains, so obviously you were right :).
I don't know why $virtual_mailbox_maps is listed in virtual_mailbox_domains. I've read that $virtual_mailbox_maps is the default value for virtual_mailbox_domains, so I think that the previous guy thought that if he set virtual_mailbox_domains just to hash:/etc/postfix/vmaildomains it would overwrite the default value and the virtual_mailbox_maps lookup table wouldn't be in use. However, I'm not sure why having virtual_mailbox_domains set is necessary, since the virtual(8) delivery agent will use the virtual_mailbox_maps lookup table anyway (if this have been set) to verify that the recipient address is valid. Am I right?
