Please don't ever edit the queue file directly for any reason. That is not supported and can give unpredictable results. To rewrite a bad recipient, use a virtual_alias_maps entry, then requeue the bad message with "postsuper -r QUEUEID". The domain does *not* need to be defined in virtual_alias_domains. # main.cf virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual_aliases # virtual_aliases b...@example.com g...@example.org # postmap virtual_aliases (and if you changed main.cf) # postfix reload # postsuper -r QUEUEID -- Noel Jones
