More specifically you cannot proxy security sensitive lookups in
virtual(8) and local(8), you can proxy the same lookups in smtpd. Finally,
virtual_mailbox_maps should not generally be listed in the validation list
for *local* recipients (unless local_transport = virtual). If you are
using virtual(8) for local domains, then local_recipient_maps can use a
proxied table, while virtual(8) uses the real table. Configure
accordingly.
