Use an alias map or a virtual_alias_map http://www.postfix.org/aliases.5.html This may be of this format For eg., In /etc/postfix/aliases postfixdemo: jsmith In main.cf alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases You could also compile your postfix with ldap lookup support and directly lookup aliases from LDAP. But personally I would recommend , you write simple scripts to create an alias file instead.
