You need a line in /etc/postfix/virtual with just the domain on the LHS
and anything at all on the RHS (I use the word "VIRTUAL", but you can use
anything).
e.g.
inertiagh.com.au VIRTUAL
Run `man 5 virtual` for full details about the virtual file format.
In part, it says:
| The "virtual-alias.domain anything" entry is required for a virtual alias
| domain. Without this entry, mail is rejected with "relay access denied",
| or bounces with "mail loops back to myself".
BTW, the RHS of the actual `user@domain` entries in a virtual_alias map is an
email address (either a local address or with a fully qualified domain name),
not a file. That means if you want to map it directly to a file, you'll also
need an entry in /etc/aliases:
info_ingo /path/to/filename
mail for [email protected] would be received by postfix, delivered to
local address info_ingh, which happens to be an alias with a file path to an
mbox file (the pathname has to be writable by postfix).
Alternatively, send all (or most) mail for that domain to a particular user
with a .procmailrc file to save incoming mail to mbox files or maildir
directories according to the rules in that file (or similar rules-based
local-delivery agent).
