You probably need a more complete section here.
This is what I use:
virtual_aliases:
driver = redirect
domains = virtual1.com : virtual2.com
allow_defer
allow_fail
data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases.$domain}}
file_transport = address_file
pipe_transport = address_pipe
retry_use_local_part
no_more
the "domains" line restricts this router to only the virtual domains.
"no_more" prevents any of the following routers (such as local delivery)
from running if the router declines (the lookup fails.)
Lets say my /etc/passwd has real users bob, jeff, and bill.
bob@??? will deliver to bob via the default "localuser"
router. Same with jeff@???.
If my aliases.virtual1.com file contains only:
bob: bob
then the lookup for jeff@??? will fail causing the router to
decline, and due to the "no_more" option, it will NOT get delivered to
the local user "jeff" as the localuser router will not run..
no_more is the key, as is restricting the router to the virtual domains.
Hope this helps.
