You're just not understanding the problem. "User unknown in virtual
alias table" means that the DOMAIN (right-hand side after the "@") is
in virtual_alias_domains, but the usern...@domain (full email address)
is NOT found in virtual_alias_maps. This also occurs when the
virtual_alias_maps lookup RESULT is an email address in
virtual_alias_domains.
You CANNOT virtually alias to a virtual alias. The result of a
virtual_alias_maps lookup must be a real mailbox or email address
somewhere.
A common misconception is that a bare username (with no @domain) is a
Unix system account. That's the default, but it's not always true,
depending on the value of myorigin.

Your problem seems to be that you cannot deliver to your corporate
address, and the problem there seems to be that you have listed that
domain as a virtual alias domain.
Wietse suggested that first, you try to send mail to this address
without using the wildcard virtual_alias_maps. When you can do that
successfully, you can implement the wildcard. Until then, there is no
point in muddying the issue!
See the BASIC readme for assistance with the basic settings you need.
Don't set anything that you don't understand. Don't try the
virtual_alias_maps setting yet, until you have confirmed that you can
send mail through your Postfix to the address you want to use for the
alias.

Sigh ... these disclaimers are offensive, even more so when posted on
public mailing lists.
