A simple example is listed in VIRTUAL_README: http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_alias The catch-all example in VIRTUAL_README assumes that $myhostname is listed in mydestination, which is the default. (Unqualified user names in virutal_alias_maps get @$myorigin appended to them, which defaults to $myhostname. End result, "joe" becomes "joe@$myhostname".) http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#myorigin http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#append_at_myorigin http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#append_dot_mydomain Note that use of catch-all addresses is now considered poor practice and discouraged. Better to define the addresses you are willing to accept and reject the rest. But there's nothing in postfix that prevents you from using a catch-all address. -- Noel Jones |
