Indeed. For now, don't specify virtual aliases that have no valid right-hand side. The Postfix SMTP server currently does not recursively expand aliases to find out if the target exists. I may be able to fix that for one-to-one mappings, but it is not a priority issue. Finally, it is a good idea to specify a fully-qualified address on the right-hand-side, for example: [email protected] postmaster@localhost Wietse
