main.cf:
# Pick one:
#canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical
#virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/valias
#virtual_alias_domains = ... set me explicitly ...
#
#canonical_maps = cdb:/etc/postfix/canonical
#virtual_alias_maps = cdb:/etc/postfix/valias
#virtual_alias_domains = ... set me explicitly ...
#
#canonical_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/canonical.cf
#virtual_alias_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/valias.cf
#virtual_alias_domains = ... set me explicitly ...
canonical:
o...@rab.net f...@bar.edu
valias:
f...@bar.edu o...@rab.net
The headers will read "f...@bar.edu", but the envelope recipient
for delivery (virtual(5) happens after canonical(5)) will still be
o...@rab.net. There are other ways of doing this, but this one is
perhaps the most natural.
