The docs for virtual_alias_maps are here: http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#virtual_alias_maps http://www.postfix.org/virtual.5.html http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html In particular, read the virtual(5) doc to see if bare username mapping will work for you; see the table search order section. -- Noel Jones
