Ah. That makes sense; because I am using virtual users, I guess postfix doesn't
know when to stop.
I added in:
user1firstname.lastn...@domain1.com user1firstname.lastn...@domain1.com
user2firstname.lastn...@domain1.com user2firstname.lastn...@domain1.com
which are the actual end results and that catches that final rewrite. I realise
the first one isn't strictly necessary given the catchall; but just for
consistency!
Thanks - that was a great help.
Cheers,
David
