Have you read: https://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_CLASS_README.html The virtual alias domain class. Purpose: hosted domains where each recipient address is aliased to an address in a different domain, for example, a local UNIX system account or a remote address. A virtual alias example is given in the VIRTUAL_README file. Domain names are listed in virtual_alias_domains. The default value is $virtual_alias_maps for Postfix 1.1 compatibility. Valid recipient addresses are listed with the virtual_alias_maps parameter. The Postfix SMTP server rejects invalid recipients with "User unknown in virtual alias table". The default value is $virtual_maps for Postfix 1.1 compatibility. There is no mail delivery transport parameter. Every address must be aliased to an address in some other domain. Which also links to: https://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#canonical Perhaps implicit in the above references is that Postfix accepts incoming mail for (valid) recipients in virtual_alias_domains, even when the client is not listed in mynetworks or SASL authenticated, ... -- Viktor. ___ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org
