That may certainly be right. ;-) > Virtual alias rewriting applies to all domains > unconditionally. Your original settings are fine.

Ok, I hope I'm right now: A recipient is found in virtual_alias_domains but not in maps -> bounced. A recipient is not found in domains but in maps -> email is delivered to alias if the the MTA considers itself destination A recipient is neither found in domains nor maps -> email is delivered using other means of getting the final user to deliver the mail to. From: http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#virtual_alias_domains The default value is $virtual_alias_maps so that you can keep all information about virtual alias domains in one place. If you have many users, it is better to separate information that changes more frequently (virtual address -> local or remote address mapping) from information that changes less frequently (the list of virtual domain names). That gave me the impression that it is possible and desirable to use the same query for viritual_alias_maps and domains. For my configuration it would be fine to tie maps and domains together. All recipients that are in maps are also listed in domains. Hope I got at least my question right this time.... ;-) Florian
