That makes perfect sense to me.

Honestly, I've never used postfix virtual users, so I'm not 100% sure
how postfix knows where virtual user home directories are. All I know
off the top of my head is that I remember seeing something in main.cf
that could be uncommented for virtual user support - not much help!

That said, you're obviously telling postfix where to deliver the mail
for each virtual user, since each has a separate maildir. One would
*assume* that postfix would also do something sensible and look for
.forward etc. in a similar place, but I'm just guessing now!

Hope this helps, although probably not:-)
