Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply.

After adding

virtual_alias_domains = pgsql:/etc/postfix/pgsql_virtual_domains_maps.cf

I received the following bouce back :

User unknown in virtual alias table

and the following warning in the log file :

warning: do not list domain XXX.com in BOTH virtual_alias_domains and 
virtual_mailbox_domains

Virtual mailboxes are working, just not the forwarding to mailman. Here 
is the output for postconf -n
