virtusertable and mailscanner

I am testing our system to use virtusertable. Ultimately we will want mail coming for @xyz.com to be redirected to @xxx.com after mailscanner & spamasssasin & sophos have done their job. Before we get the mail for @xyz.com forwarded to us, I am testing with the existing configuration. I cannot get redirection working.

At the moment we get mail for serverA to be scanned by mailscanner, etc. All is working perfectly. If I add an entry in virtusertable and make map, mail arriving for johndoe at serverA.ox.ac.uk is not forwarded to sylvain at somewhere.ox.ac.uk. (johndoe doesnt exist on serveA). The messages are bounced with:
>>> RCPT To:<nothere at serevA.ox.ac.uk>
<<< 550 No such recipient
550 5.1.1 <nothere at serverA.ox.ac.uk>... User unknown


A tab separate the two fields in virtusertable. Here are the files we have at the moment:

[mailertable]
serverA.ox.ac.uk   esmtp:[serverA.ox.ac.uk]

[virtusertable]
johndoe at serverA.ox.ac.uk     sylvain at somewhere.ox.ac.uk
