One final input: be sure to give each alias an owner-alias so that Postfix will store the result of alias expansion in new queue files. Otherwise, the result of expansion will not be stored. After failure of delivery to one local recipient in the expansion, the whole alias will be expanded again when delivery is retried, which is something that the other recipients will not appreciate.
Trying to explain this to an admin at a site I used to work for - where (aka. in which file and section of Postfix documentation) is this owner-* companion alias feature documented? I have a vague notion of how this works, but postconf(5) on Postfix 2.5.5 (openSUSE 11.1) isn't particularly elucidating, and neither are cleanup(8), trivial-rewrite(8) manpages (or qmgr(8), but that's not concerned with rewriting), nor are virtual(5), generic(5), or canonical(5) - the best you find is that owner-* and *-request are treated special and, in a different place (postconf 5) that these bypass splitting if recipient_delimiter is "-". Am I missing documentation or is documentation on this feature too terse? TIA -- Matthias Andree
