I apologize, as I am being confused. Contents of my virtual-regex now are: /somename+.*@mydomain\.com$/ somen...@yahoo.com /^somename...@mydomain\.com$/ somen...@yahoo.com
/@mydomain\.com$/ somen...@gmail.com /./ localuser When I ran postmap -q somen...@somedomain.com regexp:virtual.regex. I actually get correct results. When I ran mailx somen...@somedoman.com and vary name and domain all mails goes to localuser. Nothing is being forwarded out to somename@yahoo.comeven though regex patter should match. What do I need to change? Thank you for your help.
