Ok, let me do this another way, since I'm clearly not understanding how this is suppose to work. I read: http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html#virtual
Am I understanding this correctly? If I put addr...@virtual_domain m...@gmail.com Shouldn't it simply forward email from the first address to my gmail account? What happens is the mail does go to gmail but if I hit "reply" it tries to mail back to addr...@vitual_domain instead of the original sender. I do not have this in any other file, btw, and I've made sure I ran postmap and restarted. I'm sure this is part of my overall problem and I'm just missing something stupid, but this has taken WAY to long to set up and I'm sorta at the end of my wits here. Any more help would be appreciated.
