Because you specify 'example.com' in $virtual_mailbox_domains, its valid recipients are governed by $virtual_mailbox_maps. The /etc/passwd file does not come into play. Therefore, if mail...@example.com is not listed in the aforementioned map, mail addressed to that address is rejected. It seems everything is working as designed. -- Sahil Tandon <sa...@tandon.net>
