Not an idea per se, but look at the postmap command and use it to debug your 
transport table. You can feed postmap tables and a test email address, and it 
will output the address(es) that the table provides that match it.

It works with all postmap tables, from the standard text 'alias' style maps, 
through regexp and on to mysql and LDAP. Very useful tool for debugging 
postmap stuff like this.
