I have a series of virtual mailboxes, configured using postfix's "virtual_mailbox_maps" option, and am using the Dovecot LMTP transport. The user "info" is a catch all, while "virtual" and "postmaster" are aliased to "info".

Sending mail to "info@[redacted].com" works wonderfully:

Sending mail to the virtual user "virtual@[redacted].com" fails. Even the bounce to "postmaster" fails to find a mailbox for "postmaster":

However, if I bypass Dovecot LMTP by changing "virtual_transport" to "virtual" instead of "lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp", everything works fine. It seems to me that, by using LMTP, the postfix aliases are being skipped. What can I do to ensure that they're honored?

Cheers,
Steven…
