I read in the faq that I should list all email addresses for each of the virtual domains I list in the virtual_alias_domains file, but I don't really understand how (sorry, kinda new to all this email-server-setup stuff, could be that my entire setup is completely wrong tbh). No matter how and what I put into the virtual_alias_maps, it always gives me that error. I only want the email for particular email addresses/domains delivered locally to cyrus and possibly rewriting the email address. Gijs

I read in the faq that I should list all email addresses for > each of the virtual domains I list in the virtual_alias_domains file, Instead of FAQs, consider reading the original documentation. Domains go in virtual_alias_domains. Addresses go in virtual_alias_maps.
