Hello,
I have a VPS with postfix as my MTA.
vps.sweetwise.com <http://vps.sweetwise.com>
My MX is handled by another remote server and mail accounts
for my domain are configured there.
sweetwise.com <http://sweetwise.com>.3600INMX0
smtp.secureserver.net <http://smtp.secureserver.net>.
sweetwise.com <http://sweetwise.com>.3600INMX10
mailstore1.secureserver.net <http://mailstore1.secureserver.net>.
My VPS needs to send mail to people outside my domain and to
accounts on my domain.
I set the virtual_alias_domains and virtual_alias_maps entries
in main.cf <http://main.cf> and populated the
/etc/postfix/virtual file with this style entries:
jo...@sweetwise.com <mailto:jo...@sweetwise.com>johng
sweetwise.com <http://sweetwise.com>sweetwise.com
<http://sweetwise.com>
postmas...@sweetwise.com
<mailto:postmas...@sweetwise.com>jo...@sweetwise.com
<mailto:jo...@sweetwise.com>
emails to domains other than this one are sending fine.
Emails to my domain have the following entry in maillog but do
not arrive at the remote mailserver.

What have I missed or mis configured?
(it's a little hard to read your logs and config with all the
HTML markup).
You've configured vps.sweetwise.com as a local domain. If
that mail should be delivered somewhere else, then it's not a
local domain.
You've configured sweetwise.com in virtual_alias_domains.
Virtual_alias_domains are for domains that are rewritten to
another domain before delivery. If you don't want to rewrite
this domain, then it doesn't belong in virtual_alias_domains.
You're rewriting jo...@sweetwise.com to
jo...@vps.sweetwise.com, which postfix delivers to the johng
user on the local machine.
You need to decide where the mail goes before you start trying
to configure postfix.

It *sounds* as if you want to relay sweetwise.com to the main
MX, which makes it a relay domain. In that case, you just do
something like
# main.cf
myhostname = vps.sweetwise.com
mydestination = localhost $myhostname
virtual_alias_domains =
relay_domains = sweetwise.com
relay_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relay_recipients
# relay_recipients
jo...@sweetwise.com OK
u...@sweetwise.com OK
postmas...@sweetwise.com OK
