If you need the messages to remain in the queue to be delivered to the original server at a later date then use virtual_alias_maps as below: u...@example.comu...@example.com, u...@example2.com Set a transport route for the new domain (example2.com in the above example) And then use postsuper -r ALL to requeue the messages. The originals will get stuck again but the aliased addresses will be delivered to your POP/IMAP/whatever server. Kind regards, James Day
