I have some user email addresses (in domains that are specified as

Do I still need to list them in virtual_alias_maps, or is
check_recipient_access processed first?
you can keep it in reject_unlisted_recipient.

Thanks, that was a useful pointer... :)
Further reading tells me that if reject_unlisted_recipient is not
specified in my smtpd_recipient_restrictions it is processed after the
restrictions listed.
So: an email to one of my users rejected with 550 by
check_recipient_access happens before reaching
reject_unlisted_recipient.
I believe I do *NOT* need to have the user listed in
virtual_alias_maps as a valid user, as the inbound email will never
reach the reject_unlisted_recipient check - correct?
Simon.
