Redirect mail for other users in domain to address.
This form has the lowest precedence.
Note: @domain is a wild-card. With this form, the
Postfix SMTP server accepts mail for any recipient
in domain, regardless of whether that recipient
exists. This may turn your mail system into a
backscatter source: Postfix first accepts mail for
non-existent recipients and then tries to return
that mail as "undeliverable" to the often forged
sender address.
Don't implement wild-cards unless you can assure the message will be
delivered to a valid recipient (who will then receive a lot of spam).
