Firstly, that line should be:

neil.fryer at 12snap.com neil.fryer at 12snap.com xyberpix at unix.za.net

otherwise you're replacing the neil.fryer address with the xyberpix one.

Secondly, this shouldn't be done in virtual, it should be done in a
canonical recipients map.  man canonical

Thirdly, to enable canonical or virtual tables you have to add a line to
main.cf telling Postfix to use them, as follows:

recipient_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical.recipients

or

virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

Restart postfix for immediate effect, otherwise it'll pick up the
changes in a few minutes.
