can you please give me an example for this? I created a file mysql-virtual_mailhosts.cf which returns the mailhost and added this query to the transport maps. now the logfile fills with this message backend-B1 postfix/qmgr[18086]: warning: connect to transport backend-B1.fra1.mailcluster: No such file or directory my understanding is that when I return the right value to postfix, postfix by itself than starts the lookup to the right host.
