You *can* use virtual(8) for mydestination domains, but that does
not mean that it is a good idea. The intended use is like this:
{ mydestination, local_recipient_maps, local_transport = local }
{ virtual_mailbox_domains, virtual_mailbox_maps, virtual_transport = virtual }
{ relay_domains, relay_recipient_maps, relay_transport = relay }
Where the first class requires "account name without @", and where
the second class often delivers via Dovecot.
