For anybody else that comes along, I discovered 2 methods to easily do what I
wanted.
Method 1:
Enable envelope_sender masquerading (non-default behaviour).
edit masquerade_classes to include envelope_recipient, for example:
masquerade_classes = envelope_sender, envelope_recipient, header_sender,
header_recipient
along with
masquerade_domains = $mydomain
masquerade_exceptions = root, mailer-daemon, logwatch
Method 2:
This method can provide significantly greater flexibility, but bypasses all
local delivery attempts including alias expansion, so any aliases need to be
defined in /etc/postfix/virtual and the regexp needs to exclude it (from my
minimal testing of this method)
local_transport = virtual
virtual_alias_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/virtual
in /etc/postfix/virtual have an entry similar to this
/(.*)@/ $...@somedomain.com
Hopefully that’s the right way to do the second one.
cheers,
James
