I have been spending a lot of time reading many of those docs. I almost have this section memorized. (And the guy who accused me of not reading the docs... well I hope he feels embarrassed). http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html#generic The problem is that it only shows "@localdomain.local" as an example of a wildcard. I need to handle just "username" not "usern...@localhost" So how would I do that? would any of these work? @ my-new-addr...@example.com @ my-new-address BTW, I am not sure what you mean by "Consider what will happen to recipient addresses." What will happen? And which recipient addresses would be the problem? I don't expect to receive any mail at this postfix server. I just want to send system messages to my gmail account.
