It sounds like you have a problem w/ the user itself rather than the mail
config, but in the interest of giving you a reference point, here's how I
accomplish the same task:
mx_aliases:
driver = redirect
domains = dbmnz;EXIMD/mx.domains.db
allow_defer
allow_fail
directory_transport = address_directory
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
retry_use_local_part
user = ${extract{3}{:}{$domain_data}}
data = ${lookup{$local_part}dbmnz*{${extract{2}{:}{$domain_data}}}}
The data line might be a little off, I altered it after copying to
simplify it. basically, somains are required to be in mx.domains.db,
which looks like this:
domain.com:<reserved>:<aliasfile>:<user>[:...]
So the data gets stored in $domain_data and is used in user= and data=
lines.
If this doesn't help, post debug and the configs.
