local_recipient_maps conflicting documentation

Hello,

I'm using postfix 1.1.2 to accept mail for the local machine, and for a
made-up virtual domain "maxiesworld.net" (just testing - maxie is my cat).
It seems to work fine, but I'm not clear on one of the configuration
options.

In main.cf, I have

  mydestination = $myhostname $localhost.$mydomain

But later in main.cf, I see,

<quote>
# If you use both the Postfix local and virtual delivery agents, specify:
#
#local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps unix:passwd.byname $virtual_mailbox_maps
</quote>

I am using both local and virtual delivery agents [1], but in
README_FILES/VIRTUAL_README, it suggests,

<quote>
        # Reject unknown local recipients at the SMTP port.

        local_recipient_maps = unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps
</quote>

No $virtual_mailbox_maps .

So which is right? The main.cf comments or VIRTUAL_README? I'm
using the VIRTUAL_README method, but I'm not comfortable going
against the comments in main.cf.

[1] I added to /etc/postfix/transports,

  maxiesworld.net virtual

and /etc/postfix/master.cf by default contains,

  virtual unix - n n - - virtual
