Thanks a lot Noel - I seem to be on the right track with this, but am

I have set up my system as you described, but with one change. I set
up the virtual_alias file with the line: "@pisd.edu
@oldpisd.edu,@newpisd.edu" rather than every email address - I have a
dynamic userlist of over 6000 users!
When I send an email to a "@pisd.edu" address, it changes the
@oldpisd.edu address correctly, but the @newpisd.edu address is missing
the username. For example, if a mail is sent to b...@pisd.edu, one email
is generated& sent to b...@oldpisd.edu, but the 2nd email is generated
to go to "@newpisd.edu" (no username), which then bounces because no
such user exists.
This is not documented well. You can do @domain1->@domain2
but not @domain1->@domain2, @domain3.
In reality, you should not use @domain wild-cards and just write
a script to create those 6000 table entries for the old domain.
Let the computer do the work for you, it already has the data.

Scott,
Are you fully table-driven? How about some SQL magic to build the
aliasing value dynamically, instead of a flat file?
