You are talking about virtual alias maps as configured with the "virtual_alias_maps" config directive? I don't use them. I am using alias_maps: # postconf | grep ldap alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-aliases.cf, ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-groups.cf My owner- address is defined in hash:/etc/aliases and my list address in ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-groups.cf. Do both the list address and the owner- alias have to be in the same alias-map? >>> To avoid running out of file handles reduce the number of Postfix >>> processes or increase your kernel tables. >>> >>> http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#default_process_limit >>> http://www.postfix.org/master.5.html >> >> I don't think that this should be a problem. default_process_limit is at >> 100 and there is virtually no load on the server.

The local(8) process is running into a *PER PROCESS* limit, not a user or system limit. (The system limit is 1182752.)
