Hi!
I thought I could combine (chain together) my alias_{database,maps}
tables with my virtual_alias_maps table.
I figured that if I specify in my aliases table:
root: daniell
and in my virtual table:
daniell daniell@email_address
then mails for root from localhost would end up in the specified
daniell@email_address mailbox (on another machine, using relayhost).
Unfortunatelly sending mail to root ends up in the local mailbox of the
daniell user, altough sending mail to the daniell user ends up in the
daniell@email_address mailbox.
Now I know that I could simply change the alias table to forward mails
for root to the daniell@email_address address, but I can't help but to
remain curious about how could I make the above chaining work.
