Dear Maintainer,
README.Debian provides incomplete instructions for SMTP generic mapping.
If the instructions as currently written are followed, the generic
mappings will not work. The instructions do not specify how to load the
lookup tables file ('/etc/postfix/generic_mapping' in the given
example).
I am attaching a patch that completes the instructions to specify how to
load the lookup tables file for SMTP generic mapping.

One advantage to using generic over canonical mapping is that the latter will
be applied to local mail as well. If the system will be configured to send all
