When I want to make an alias, I try this in /etc/aliases:
"al...@domain.nl": j...@domain.nl
But when I sent mail, I get a bounce with "user unknown".
When I do this in /etc/aliases:
alias: j...@domain.nl
This works fine, but for all domains on this server. And that's not
what I want.
Do you know a way how to use aliases with an @ in it?

You can't do it alias_maps= table (which by default points to /etc/aliases
file).
You should use virtual_alias_maps= table in main.cf file and define the
aliases there.

Thanks, it works.
I thought I would not need this file anymore.
virtual_alias_maps and alias_maps have slightly different capabilities
virtual_alias_maps
- is processed when mail is being received
- can be used to rewrite ANY destination mail address (including non-local
recipients)
- can be (usually is) used at SMTP level to validate recipients
alias_maps
- is used when delivering mail to local recipients
- can include recipients from file
- can feed mail to a program or a file
- can change mail sender when "alias" is the recipient and "owner-alias"
exists
Preferrably use virtual_alias_maps, but if you need any of alias_maps
features, use that one.
