Was it supposed to whitelist it to both recipients, or just to an 'archival'
mailbox?  If virtual_alias_maps is performed before mail gets to amavisd
and both recipients are supposed to be whitelisted, then you need
to have two whitelisting entries, one for each domain.

Perhaps it would be more natural to have this expansion happen
after amavisd, implemented by the back-end side of the MTA.
Keep in mind that virtual_alias_maps is implemented by the
cleanup service, not by smtpd. Something along these lines:

# front-end
pickup    fifo  n       -       n       60      1       pickup
   -o cleanup_service_name=pre-cleanup
submission       inet n    -       n       -	-	smtpd
   -o cleanup_service_name=pre-cleanup
smtp            inet n    -       n       -    -       smtpd
   -o cleanup_service_name=pre-cleanup

# back-end
10025    inet n    -       n       -      -       smtpd
    -o cleanup_service_name=post-cleanup


pre-cleanup  unix n	-	n	-	0	cleanup
    -o virtual_alias_maps=...

post-cleanup  unix n	-	n	-	0	cleanup
    -o virtual_alias_maps=...archive-expansion-maps...


Or do the expansion by alias_maps which are implemented by
the 'local' mailbox delivery service.
