I now have:

local_recipient_maps = hash:/etc/virtual/users

The file named "users" has each LHS with the username by itself and
the RHS with just "OK". But the names are not recognized. Names
that are in /etc/passwd are recognized even though I did not code
unix:passwd.byname on local_recipient_maps at all. It's like it
just doesn't see it at all and still uses the default.

What do I look for next?
