alias_maps (or virtual_alias_maps) can do both of these things. You can have a mailbox that is f...@example.com and an alias that looks like this: f...@example.com f...@example.com,b...@example.com The alias will cause a copy to be delivered to f...@example.com and another copy to be forwarded to b...@example.com (the above is an example for virtual aliases, local ones would be similar). >From your original email: > I know I can use aliases but I need to let the "alias" address > authenticate on postfix in order to send emails. You need to separate the concept of aliases from that of SASL AUTH. You can alias anything you want, and you can auth with any username/password combination you want, they are separate beasts. Aliases are controlled with alias_maps (or virtual_alias_maps) and the authentication is done via your SASL AUTH daemon (most likely dovecot). Peter
