The problem is that the important extension address information that
TMDA requires is being thrown away.  On my Postfix system for example,
when a message is confirmed, the final Delivered-To: looks like this:

  Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  Received: by hrothgar.la.mastaler.com (Postfix, from userid 502)
          id CB6D7D2D49; Tue, 27 May 2003 22:34:04 -0600 (MDT)

As you can see, the -confirm-* portion is preserved.

I remember testing Postfix virtual domains with TMDA years ago and
didn't have any problems with it.  I can't recall the last time
someone (other than you) brought this up either, so I'm not really
sure what's going on.

You might want to dig into the Postfix docs and/or search the
postfix-users archives to figure out why the extension address
information is not being preserved for mail to your virtual domains.
