Oh. Sorry, I tend to forget that the Unix manpage conventions are no
longer so prevalent. :/ virtual(5) means the section 5 page for
virtual, or:
man 5 virtual

No, you can use any table type that postfix supports in any table-based
lookup system. So, you could easily have your mysql database in the
virtual_aliases entry in main.cf, just like any other mysql table.
Um, and virtual_aliases is different from the normal aliases tables, and
applies at different times, in case that wasn't clear.

Ah. Now, *that* I can't help you with. I have not used postfixadmin,
and like many GUI tools it probably doesn't like things it won't write
being present in the database. :(

Sorry, I always just do this stuff by hand.
