I see two possible problems... First, with virtual_alias_maps it is strongly recommended to use fully-qualified addresses and not bare user names. Bare names are supported, but can give unexpected results unless you carefully read the "table search order" of virtual(5). Secondly, the format of virtual_alias_maps does NOT use the ":" separator between the key and the data. With your example above, postfix would expect the user name to be "all-groups:@$myorigin" So your virtual map should resemble: all-gro...@example.com group_1@localhost, group2@localhost, ... If this doesn't help, follow Sahil's advice and provide better information. -- Noel Jones >> ... >> I'm now moving my mail server within the organization to a new >> subdomain, but I intend to keep the same mail address scheme we've >> always used.
