All the above seems correct. What does your apache error log say? Is
this a SELinux issue?

See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/A4E9>.

And following that do you have

add_virtualhost(DEFAULT_URL_HOST, DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST)

It is redundant to list the same domain twice in
POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS.

POSTFIX_STYLE_VIRTUAL_DOMAINS = ['$b.edu']

is enough.


Also see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/mIA9>.
