That's what $virtual_alias_maps [1] is for. Add the following line to main.cf: virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual Create a file /etc/postfix/virtual with the mappings you need: us...@domainalpha.com anotheru...@anotherdomain.com Run "postmap /etc/postfix/virtual" to create the hash database. For further information see the VIRTUAL_README [2].
