==About==
Optional lookup tables with all valid addresses in the domains that match $[[../virtual_mailbox_domains|virtual_mailbox_domains]].

In a lookup table, specify a left-hand side of "@domain.tld" to match any user in the specified domain that does not have a specific "user@domain.tld" entry.

The [http://www.postfix.org/virtual.8.html virtual(8)] delivery agent uses this table to look up the
per-recipient mailbox or maildir pathname. If the lookup result ends in a slash ("/"), maildir-style delivery is carried out, otherwise the path is assumed to specify a UNIX-style mailbox file. Note that $[[../virtual_mailbox_base|virtual_mailbox_base]] is unconditionally prepended to this path.

When a recipient address has an optional address extension (user+foo@domain.tld), the [[http://www.postfix.org/virtual.8.html virtual(8)] delivery agent looks up the full address first, and when the lookup fails, it looks up the unextended address (user@domain.tld).

Note 1: for security reasons, the [http://www.postfix.org/virtual.8.html virtual(8)] delivery agent disallows regular expression substitution of $1 etc. in regular expression lookup tables, because that would open a security hole.

Note 2: for security reasons, the [http://www.postfix.org/virtual.8.html virtual(8)] delivery agent will
silently ignore requests to use the [http://www.postfix.org/proxymap.8.html proxymap(8)] server. Instead
it will open the table directly. Before Postfix version 2.2, the [http://www.postfix.org/virtual.8.html virtual(8)] delivery agent will terminate with a fatal error.
