 From the postfix alias view there's no difference between a
"forwarding 
alias" and a "local expanding alias". Either
an off-site address is 
specified (forwarding) or an other "local address"
which will be caught 
by the second virtual_mailbox lookup.

This leads to the question whats the difference in your
setup between a 
  normal 'dn: mail=userexample.org...' and a 'dn: 
mailAddressAlias=user2example.org...' entry? In both cases the
mails 
should/will be delivered locally, right? If yes, why are you
distinguish 
those two cases?
