is the changes at the main.cf will have some effect on the others mails account i mean is the changes will take effect only on specific account?

in this file only u have to give specific user's id /etc/postfix/virtual

in main.cf file, see the below bold sentence which call the /etc/postfix/virtual file.
virtual_alias_domains = sharadchhetri.com
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

I hope in virtual_alias_domains parameter you have single domain. not multiple domain is listed.

It will not affect other account, it only affect the account which u specify in /etc/postfix/virtual
.

sharadchhetri, could you possibly use spaces in your distribution list please? It's breaking the page layout otherwise. Also, please avoid "SMS" speak (e.g. "u" instead of "you") per the LQ rules.
