Use virtual(5) if necessary to rewrite the address into a domain which is
a virtual_mailbox_domain, else resolve the user or domain to the
virtual(8) transport via the transport(5) table.

Use virtual(5) to rewrite the recipient.

Use virtual(5) if necessary to rewrite the address into a domai which is a
"local" domain (i.e. listed in $mydestination) else resolve the user or
domain to the local(8) transport via the transport(5) table.

The usual rewriting trick for local delivery is an RHS of "user at localhost"
provided that "localhost.$mydomain" is listed in $mydestination, and
append_dot_mydomain is not changed to "no".

Postfix does not support "\user". It is equivalent to just "user", which
is rewritten to user@$myorigin.

After rewriting in virtual alias maps, the transport for any address is
selected based on the address class of the domain unless the transport(5)
table overrides the default routing.

Arrange for each address to be resolved the right transport (man
transport), or to be rewritten to another address that resolves to the
right transport. The relevant documentation is in ADDRESS_CLASS_README,
VIRTUAL_README, virtual(5) and transport(5).
