Don't do this in the /etc/alias file; instead, use
transport maps:

"joedoe:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2525"
and
"joedoe: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2525"
The above does not work. How can I accomplish this?
See the link posted above and pay close attention to
transport map syntax.
I tried this, but did not get it to work. Here is what I added to
/etc/postfix/transport:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] smtp:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:2525

[EMAIL PROTECTED] smtp:[other.example.net]:2525
My test mail wound up locally - not recirected. Maybe I have something
backwards.
stop trying random things. postfix is not a robot. you can't train it to
learn new grammar. you'll get better results by training yourself to
learn postfix grammar.
I am not very familiar with this, but what I am trying to do is to setup a
redirect for a handful of mail accounts in order to try out an outsourced email
solution. Adding aliases to /etc/alias file would probably work perfectly
since the redirect happens before any processing by Amavis, etc. takes place.
The only problem to overcome is to make it use port 2525 when redirecting.
Thanks,
