I stood up my server using these instructions from this website, which have
gotten me VERY far. However, I'm at a deviation point. I'd like to have
virtual users (and not require local unix accounts for those "users"), and
then possibly even forward those emails to a real user, effectively
masking/masquerading.

I noticed on her site, she has a section for:
Create Virtual Mailboxes with PostfixAdmin (Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04)
Trying to avoid a gui when/where possible, for security reasons. I am
running 20.04 by the way. Just noticed the following bullet point actually
on her site:
"command-line client postfixadmin-cli for those who don’t want to click
around in a web interface", which is probably what I'd do, or would like to
do. But this is what caught my attention: "
Note: Once you finish part 3, you can no longer use local Unix accounts as
email addresses. You must create email addresses from the PostfixAdmin web
interface." So I'm sure completing these instructions, would break my
current setup.
What is the best way to accomplish this? I've been playing around with the
mysql path - thoughts on this approach? Any good tutorials that anyone can
recommend, that use dovecot, postfix, and imap?
I should note, I'd be the only user of this mail server.
