I've done away with the traditional alias files & virtually aliased
everything:
$ postconf -n alias_maps \
alias_database \
virtual_alias_domains \
virtual_alias_maps
alias_maps = $alias_database
alias_database =
virtual_alias_domains = btree:$config_directory/virtual_alias

Do btree source files need to be sorted before postmapping?
DATABASE_README says about btree: "A sorted, balanced tree structure."

Just have 1 port on the box that does it

I'm setting up Postfix for a domain that hosts Dovecot IMAP mail dirs
for real Unix accounts. Postfix needs to accept mail for users' public

e.g:
joe.blo...@example.com --> jb4356
jane.blos...@example.com-->
24 matches
