I have this done in the virtual file and everything appears to work,
except one thing I can't understand:
Virtual aliasing is recursive, so the above mapping should be fine as
long as someone_e...@virtual_domain.com is eventually mapped to an
actual mailbox/address. This is why the OP observes that it "works" in
the sense that test mail arrives in the intended mailbox.
When the email arrives in my mail client it arrives with
t...@virtual_domain.com in the CC field.
As noted in the ADDRESS_REWRITING_README, virtual alias mapping affects
*only* the envelope recipient address, not the headers.
Sahil,
Ok, thanks. That clarifies some things. But it doesn't fix the
problem. If I add the "forward" to the canonical file (actually,
canonical-receive in this case), the address gets rewritten so when the
person replies it will reply to what the address was rewritten to, which
is what you would expect but not what I want.
So the virtual file is what I want to use because I want people to be
thinking the original alias is a valid email address and continue to
send to it.
But there is a problem with the mail agent. I'm now starting to think
this is a localized problem with the agent (in this case Thunderbird).
If I put the following in the virtual file:
br...@letterpress.cc brian
c...@letterpress.cc br...@letterpress.cc
the email will be picked up by thunderbird with a header like the
following which thunderbird wants to reply to br...@boxcarpress.com and
CC to c...@letterpress.cc

The funny thing is if I rewrite c...@letterpress.cc to
br...@letterpress.cc directly in the mailbox and re-download everything
is just fine. Besides that I don't see any difference.
I don't see how thunderbird would know the dif. Seems silly to me, anyway.
I forwarded email to gmail instead and everything works, but then I
can't rule out the problem being with forwarding email on the same domain.
I'm moving from a sendmail setup to postfix, so my understanding of
things is probably just messed up. But basically I want this acting
like the sendmail alias file did in sendmail (Although postfix uses that
file for somethings, it doesn't use it quite the same way).
I've also included my postconf ouput info in case that is the problem
(at the end).
