Well I feel kinda....
It turns out that when using Webmin to issue commands to build the 
virtual database it was not happening.

I was able to track it down when I moved one of the mydestination 
domains in the config to a virtual_alias_domains, postfix came back with
unable to deliver the email because the domain was not found in the 
virtual_alias_map.
Once I issued the commands from console everything worked.
Sorry Hugo, Martin, and Glenn

Thanks
Arthur Stephens
