Hello Thank you for the response... And now I know about not editing the queue .
We did try using the virtual_aliases_maps at the start of trying to solve the issue. However I could not figure out how to add this address [ I tried many ways using '\' before many of the spaces and other characters... ] : (host smtp.fantinibakery.com[10.1.10.14] said: 550 5.1.1 <CDR =${ FROM_DID}@fantinibakery.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table (in reply to RCPT TO command)) "CDR =${FROM_DID}"@ fantinibakery.com Next time will try more ways of adding the address to virtual.
