Yes, the transport table applies to all recipients except (IIRC)
*virtual alias* recipients that fail to be rewritten to a real
domain.
transport:
disc...@example.com discard:silently
This works for local, virtual mailbox, relay and even remote recipients,
but (again IIRC) not virtual alias recipients (rejected for lack of
rewrite to a real address prior to transport lookup).

This is unnecessarily complex, and assumes that the transport
for example.com is local(8).
