No. You write little functions in a common language (python, perl,
java, rust, haskell?, php, C) and leave the rest up to a code
library.

There is a useful distinction to be made between mail that is injected into the
system by
A useful rubric to keep in mind is:
* There's no such thing as outbound mail,

Don't expand the alias.

Is this a setting in postfix? Is this a default behavior?
You are expanding the alias, by configuring a virtual(5) alias table

Don't expand the alias.

Im confused by this situation. Two separate independent servers both
running same version of postfix and both setup the same way with
virtual users and alias address stored in SQL.
Okay, i think i figured out what is going on. On the second server that

Im confused by this situation. Two separate independent servers both
