smtpd_recipient_restrictions is implemented by the Postfix SMTP
server. The other maps are used as the Postfix SMTP server determines
if it should receive mail for an address in an "RCPT TO" command.
Of course virtual_mailbox_maps, virtual_alias_maps. transport_maps
are also used to deliver mail, but that happens later in the pipeline.
