You almost never want to return a NULL result to Postfix using a SQL lookup.
This actually can mean an affirmative instead of a negative result.
A better query might be:
(SELECT dest from aliases where addr = '%[email protected]' AND '%d' =
'example.net') UNION
(SELECT addr from users where addr = '%[email protected]' AND '%d' =
'example.net') LIMIT 1
Postfix expects an empty set (i.e. no rows returned) if it is to respond
negatively that a virtual alias does not exist.
Returning NULL does not equal no rows returned.
