mydestination - removed, left as default
Don't do that. Set it to something specific maybe "localhost.local"
virtual_alias_domains = simonandkate.lan, simonandkate.net, etc...
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual (and postmapped)
Removed all virtual alias domain entries from aliases and run newaliases
The domain alias appears valid:
[root@emp87 postfix]# postmap -q [email protected]
hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
katie
virtual aliases should always use a fully qualified email address,
such as [email protected]

Combining postconf -d/-n, naming is:
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost (i.e. default)
myhostname = mail.simonandkate.net
(specified in main.cf)
mydomain = simonandkate.lan (i.e. default)
myorigin = $myhostname (i.e default)
...that pans out to:
mydestination = mail.simonandkate.net, localhost.simonandkate.lan, localhost
myhostname = mail.simonandkate.net
mydomain = simonandkate.lan
myorigin = mail.simonandkate.net
On your second point, 'virtual' is written like this:
# simonandkate.net
[email protected] simon
...which I will correct, note questions later.
I think the combination of naming and 'not-FQ aliases' is contributing
to the following in pflogsumm reporting (extract for clarity):
Recipients by message count
---------------------------
519 [email protected]
40 [email protected]
98 [email protected]
2 [email protected]
Mail is getting delivered but with address variation to the final
destination. Note also the example at the bottom of this email, where
[email protected] is getting changed to [email protected]
Questions:
1. in virtual, do alias addresses always map out to
$mydestination-resolvable addresses? I.e. does it need to be
[email protected] --> simon@something-in-$mydestination?
2. Is there a way to keep the address as the original recipient (as it
was when the domains were under mydestination) for things like
pflogsumm reporting?
3. Are there better options for my mydestination, myhostname,
mydomain, myorigin which will assist?
Thanks so much for the help Noel, Viktor, Matus.
