virtual_alias_domains (default: $virtual_alias_maps)
Postfix is final destination for the specified list of virtual alias domains, that is,
domains for which all addresses are aliased to addresses in other local or remote domains.
The SMTP server validates recipient addresses with $virtual_alias_maps and rejects
non-existent recipients. See also the virtual alias domain class in the
ADDRESS_CLASS_README file 

This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later. The default value is backwards
compatible with Postfix version 1.1. 

The default value is $virtual_alias_maps so that you can keep all information about
virtual alias domains in one place. If you have many users, it is better to separate
information that changes more frequently (virtual address -> local or remote address
mapping) from information that changes less frequently (the list of virtual domain names).


Specify a list of host or domain names, "/file/name" or "type:table" patterns, separated
by commas and/or whitespace. A "/file/name" pattern is replaced by its contents; a
"type:table" lookup table is matched when a table entry matches a lookup string (the
lookup result is ignored). Continue long lines by starting the next line with whitespace.
Specify "!pattern" to exclude a host or domain name from the list. The form "!/file/name"
is supported only in Postfix version 2.4 and later. 

See also the VIRTUAL_README and ADDRESS_CLASS_README documents for further information. 

Example: 

virtual_alias_domains = virtual1.tld virtual2.tld

----------

virtual_mailbox_domains (default: $virtual_mailbox_maps)
Postfix is final destination for the specified list of domains; mail is delivered via the
$virtual_transport mail delivery transport. By default this is the Postfix virtual(8)
delivery agent. The SMTP server validates recipient addresses with $virtual_mailbox_maps 
					^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^			
and rejects mail for non-existent recipients. See also the virtual mailbox domain class in
the ADDRESS_CLASS_README file. 

This parameter expects the same syntax as the mydestination configuration parameter. 

This feature is available in Postfix 2.0 and later. The default value is backwards
compatible with Postfix version 1.1.
