postfix virtual_mailbox and virtual_alias together


On my Ubuntu server, I have configured postfix to use virtual mailboxes
and virtual aliases.

Mails addressed to
vmbx1@my.vdomain and
vmbx2@my.vdomain
get delivered to their local virtual filesystem-mailbox correctly.

Similarly, mails addressed to
vali1@my.vdomain and
vali2@my.vdomain
get delivered (forwarded) to their remote alias target.


I'd like to use both deliveries mixed.
vmix@my.vdomain
I'd like to keep the mail in the local virtual mailbox
AND
to deliver (forward) to the remote alias target as well.

I couldn't configure this.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have my aliases and mailboxes set up in mysql so I'm not sure how it goes if your conf is done traditional way but this is how I did it.

I set up an alias which delivers posts to other alias and desired mailbox
like

Code:
 vmix@domain ---> alias@domain
              \-> mbox@domain

Thanks, tva,
with MySQL it may work. However, this is the traditional way I found:

A virtual aliases file entry may define multiples aliases.
One of them may be the local virtual mailbox entry,
with the same left-side key.

- Create an entry in the virtual aliases file 'virtual'
Code:
vmix@my.vdomain    vmix@my.vdomain, vmixforwarded@other.domain, ...

- And create the same entry in the virtual mailboxes file 'vmailbox'
Code:
vmix@my.vdomain    /vboxes/subdir1/vmix/
