Okay, I think I understood enough to do it (more or less) right. I set: virtual_alias_maps = regexp:/etc/postfix/virtual_alias_regexp and this file contains patterns like these: /^user@example\.com$/ [email protected] /.*\.user@example\.com$/ [email protected] /^user2@example\.com$/ [email protected] /.*\.user2\.spiegl@example\.com$/ [email protected] It works! Mails with prefixes are delivered to the right mailboxes. The part that doesn't work as expected is that the header line "Delivered-To:" doesn't show the original mail address but the mapped one (w/o the prefix). I assume this has to do with dovecot as LDA because when setting "virtual_transport = virtual" then there are correct X-Original-To and Delivered-To headers. Is there an option I forgot or maybe I am still misunderstanding something vital? Thanks a lot, Andy. -- lƃǝıds ʎpuɐ
