As documented, virtual_alias_maps lookups are recursive, meaning the map is searched repeatedly until either there is no result, or the result is the same as the lookup key. To keep the wildcard from grabbing everything (wildcards are evil), your map must have extra entries to "protect" the addresses you don't want grabbed by the wildcard. This is called a 1-1 mapping entry. Your map must be structured similar to: A -> B # rewrite A to B B -> B # 1-1 mapping to protect B from wildcard wildcard # wildcard matches everything Your map is missing the 1-1 mapping entry, so the wildcard matches everything. -- Noel Jones
