I am aware of the readme article its based on multiple hosted domains.
Correct me if i am wrong here but virtual_mailbox_maps also requires
virtual_mailbox_domains
but i don`t have any "additional" virtual_mailbox_domains, i only need
postifx to be responsible for one single domain only
and that is already taken care of with mydestination = mydomain.de hence
my question if its allright to put localhost
in mydestination so that i can use mydomain.de in virtual_mailbox_domains.
The readme clearly says that you can`t list mydomain.xy in mydestination
and virtual_mailbox_domains at the same time.
My bad, i was talking about virtual_alias_domains instead of
virtual_mailbox_domains, sorry if that caused any confusion.

Hey there,
i would like to benefit from the convenience that virtual_users
bring to your configuration, that is - from my point of view - that
you don`t need to create local accounts for every e-mail user,
even though in my case i only have a few of them.
As far as i know, you can enable virtual_users in postfix by using
the *virtual_alias_maps* directive, but *virtual_alias_maps* seem to
require hosted domains in*virtual_alias_domains*.
I only got one domain for which postfix will be resposible for
directly, therefor i have set *mydestination* to mydomain.de.
If i am not mistaken you shouldn`t set the same domain in
*mydestination* and *virtual_alias_domains *so i would like to ask,
what can i do to accomplish a virtual_user configuration for a
single domain setup?
I am just guessing here but i assume i could set mydestination to
localhost and put mydomain.de in*virtual_alias_maps* but maybe thats
not "best practice" or there are any side effects i am not taking
into account.
As always, thanks for helping me out. :)

Sounds as if you want a virtual MAILBOX domain, not a virtual ALIAS
domain
http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html#virtual_mailbox_class
You can find an example setup in
