Hi,

I get email forwarded to me from a FAX server that I need to process and
then forward to a different server.  The ³to² email address is always in the
form of <FAXnumber>@send.fax.  The FAX number could be the phone number for
any FAX machine in the country and only the �...@send.fax² is a constant.
Right now, I¹ve set up an alias that looks like ³*.send.fax
³/opt/local/adm/aliasFilters/FAX.filter faxfilter² which seems like it
should work.   When I point alias_maps to that file, and include the
send.fax domain in mydestination, the message bounces because it doesn¹t
recognize the user (which is simply one of an infinite possible phone
numbers).  When I move the send.fax domain to relay_domains and point
virtual_alias_maps to the alias file, Postfix happily forward the message on
to the regilar mail server, substituting the file path for the ³to² address.
In no case does the message ever get delivered to the program.

Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get this to work right?  I¹m
running this in a separate instance of Postfix, so no matter what I do, I
won¹t screw up the main mail system.

Thanks.
