Ahh, I see. Thanks for explaining that.

Why are you using virtual tables then if your accounts are actually
local? A better option may be to set mydestination to
trayerproducts.com, and myorigin = $mydomain ensuring that you have
specified the full host name in myhostname.

Then just alias the users in the /etc/alias file (Or where ever yours
is). Don't forget to 'newaliases' after the changes.

If you prefer to stick with the virtual domain, then I could do with the
details you have for mydestination and virtual_alias_domains.
