It is far simpler when the domain list is short and relatively stable
to simply list the domains in main.cf:
virtual_mailbox_domains = example.com, example.org

If you want an external file with just a list of domains (that
is loaded into memory by Postfix processes) then the syntax is:
virtual_mailbox_domains = /etc/postfix/config/virtual_domains
without the "hash:" prefix. If you want an indexed table, which
is not loaded into memory (scales better for large lists, and
typically does not require a "reload" after updates), then use
"cdb:", "hash:", "btree:", ...

With indexed files, you need to run "postmap type:file" to generate
the indexed table from the raw ASCII source.
