OK, I figured out the problem.  It appears to be a bug in Postfix.

Postfix as of Postfix-20010228-pl03 (and the latest 1.1.11, apparently)
doesn't properly re-affix extensions to recipient names when the virtual
table has the entire domain as the key and the user's local account as
the value.

e.g. /etc/postfix/virtual looked like:

otterley.org  ACCEPT
@otterley.org otterley

and mail to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> was being delivered to
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and TMDA never saw the extension.

However, after changing /etc/postfix/virtual to:

otterley.org           ACCEPT
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  otterley

it seemed to work fine.

I'll chat with the Postfix team and find out whether or not they
consider it a bug.
