virtual_maps has been deprecated since Postfix 2.0. It still works
because it is the default value for the replacement setting,
virtual_alias_maps.

You are using an unqualified target in virtual_alias_maps, and
apparently the example.com domain is in virtual_alias_domains (by
means of a domain entry in /etc/postfix/virtual, most likely.)
This means that requ...@example.com is rewritten to
"request@$myorigin". You have not set myorigin (you might consider
doing that), so you get the default of "myorigin = $myhostname". You
did set "myhostname = mail01.example.com".
Where/how should mail01.example.com mail be delivered? If that is
also in virtual_alias_domains, you must have a listing for
requ...@mail01.example.com which resolves to an address NOT in
virtual_alias_domains.

This is old too. Sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org has been superceded some years
ago by Zen.spamhaus.org.
