Again, it says that

The text does not say:
If the domain matches virtual_alias_domains
then look up the user in virtual_alias_maps
else don't use virtual_alias_maps
but that is exactly what "if" means.
What you say here is a perfect example of misleading.
Using "if" in case where a condition does NOT have to be met only leads to
mistakes.
there are many ifs in postfix documentation, should I understand that
they are all useless and all "then" apply even when their "if" doesn't
succeed?
The program behaves as promised.
IMHO the documentation should make it more clear. I have only found this
information in:
http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html#overview
but the virtual_alias_maps is documented in other docs to.
Note that the original poster also did miss this information, that's why we
have this thread.
