Greetings
it's been a while since I have done this.
I have an old server running a mail list. I have successfully relocated the
list to a new server.
what i need to do re-route any message sent incorrectly to this list to the new
server.
message to --> listname@oldHost ---> hits { smtp relay on smtpHost } " some
rewrite or alias / transport sends to the message to --> list name@newHost.
transport maps didn't seem to make sense. as when it arrived at the new host,
the message would still say To:list name@oldHost, so newHost is going to throw
it back.
alias on the smtp relay said the alias had to be local, which made sense.
What type of re-write do i need to perform this action?
suggestions and flames welcome

answering my own question
okay,.. I set up a generic map on my smtp relay
smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/generic
listn...@host1.example.com listn...@host2.example.com
when the message arrives it is delivered to "host1" and host1 sends the message
to host2.
How can I get the smtp relay to " not forward to host1 " but deliver directly
to host2. Do I need to setup transport also ?
Yes.
The generic map only changes the address - it doesn't change where it is
sent.
smtP_generic_maps is applied by the smtp(8) daemon, as its name indicates.
It has already been queued and routed at that point, and the next-hop is
fixed.
The OVERVIEW may help: http://www.postfix.org/OVERVIEW.html
Use a transport_map to alter the next-hop before it is queued.
