That's right. virtual maps are queried recursively. If you have
a table

            
    @sub.domain.com

Then the substitution is ->
-> .

The clean "fix" for this is a switch that makes the virtual map
lookups non-recursive (i.e. stop after the first lookup attempt,
successful or not).

To work around this, try the following hack:

            
            
    @sub.domain.com

I hope this will terminate the recursion for .
At least, with current Postfix versions. Older versions have a very
odd way of dealing with self-referring virtual map entries.
