I told you to use a virtual alias MAP. I did not tell you to use a virtual alias DOMAIN. My example requires that you can already receive mail at u...@example.com. Never will Postfix create an account just because you send mail to it. See http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html if you really think that you must use a virtual domain. Wietse
