Looks similar, don't you think?

Well, so I do the same thing in a different way. Instead of eventually
passing it to localuser director, it hits my first virtual_localuser director
with "transport" set. When transport is set, original address is passed to
that transport, exactly like in localuser director. So the final effect is
the same :) Correct me if I am wrong.

The way messages are going in my config is:
director a looks for alias, creates new mail, which goes to second aliasfile
director with transport set. that director passes message to transport
The way messages are going in your config is:
director a looks for alias, creates new mail, which goes to localuser
director. that director passes message to transport

Thank you,
