Please give more details (preferably an example message which goes
wrong, and the configuration file you are using). If used without a
transport, new_address should act just like an aliasing operation (which
modified envelopes).

The domains are handled locally. That's really what local_domains is all
about. If you don't want to put them in local_domains, you can pick them
off in a domainlist router, route them to the local host, and set
self=local. This then passes them to the directors. But it takes more
work that just setting local_domains.
