Yes, virtual_alias_maps is the correct solution for general-purpose address rewriting. The domain does not need to be listed in virtual_alias_domains. In general, it's good practice to always use address@domain rather than just bare usernames in virtual_alias_maps: i...@example.com user1@localhost, us...@hotmail.com Note there is no ":" separator used in this file. If the rewritten address is delivered locally, that address will then be subject to rewriting by the usual aliases file. http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html http://www.postfix.org/OVERVIEW.html -- Noel Jones
