Can someone tell me whether the following is correct?

virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/pfmalias hash:/etc/aliases

It begins to look like if the file ___HAS___ colons, like the aliases
man page that comes with postfix says, and you use
        postalias hash:/etc/postfix/pfmalias
        with lines that look like:
        schumi: [email protected], [email protected]
that should work.  "works" means mail goes to the places listed on the RHS
of the colon.

If you leave out the colon, then you use post___map___
        postmap hash:/etc/postfix/pfmalias
        with lines that look like:
        schumi [email protected], [email protected]
and that works.  "works" means mail goes to the places listed on the RHS.

Both work for me, as long as I use
postalias on files WITH    colons, and
postmap   on files WITHOUT colons.
I have a book that says one thing, and the man page says another.
