Virtual aliasing is +# recursive, and is implemented by the Postfix \fBcleanup\fR(8) +# daemon before mail is queued. +# +# The main applications of virtual aliasing are: +# .IP \(bu +# To redirect mail for one address to one or more addresses. +# .IP \(bu +# To implement virtual alias domains where all addresses are aliased +# to addresses in other domains. +# .sp +# Virtual alias domains are not to be confused with the virtual mailbox +# domains that are implemented with the Postfix \fBvirtual\fR(8) mail +# delivery agent. With virtual mailbox domains, each recipient address +# can have its own mailbox. +# .PP +# Virtual aliasing is applied only to recipient +# envelope addresses, and does not affect message headers. +# Use \fBcanonical\fR(5) +# mapping to rewrite header and envelope addresses in general. +# +# Normally, the \fBvirtual\fR(5) alias table is specified as a text file +# that serves as input to the \fBpostmap\fR(1) command. +# The result, an indexed file in \fBdbm\fR or \fBdb\fR format, +# is used for fast searching by the mail system. Execute the command +# "\fBpostmap /etc/postfix/virtual\fR" to rebuild an indexed +# file after changing the corresponding text file. +# +# When the table is provided via other means such as NIS, LDAP +# or SQL, the same lookups are done as for ordinary indexed files. +# +# Alternatively, the table can be provided as a regular-expression +# map where patterns are given as regular expressions, or lookups +# can be directed to TCP-based server. In those case, the lookups +# are done in a slightly different way as described below under +# "REGULAR EXPRESSION TABLES" or "TCP-BASED TABLES". +# CASE FOLDING +# .ad +# .fi +# The search string is folded to lowercase before database +# lookup. As of Postfix 2.3, the search string is not case +# folded with database types such as regexp: or pcre: whose +# lookup fields can match both upper and lower case. +# TABLE FORMAT +# .ad +# .fi +# The input format for the \fBpostmap\fR(1) command is as follows: +# .IP "\fIpattern address, address, ...\fR" +# When \fIpattern\fR matches a mail address, replace it by the +# corresponding \fIaddress\fR. +# .IP "blank lines and comments" +# Empty lines and whitespace-only lines are ignored, as +# are lines whose first non-whitespace character is a `#'. +# .IP "multi-line text" +# A logical line starts with non-whitespace text. A line that +# starts with whitespace continues a logical line. +# TABLE SEARCH ORDER +# .ad +# .fi +# With lookups from indexed files such as DB or DBM, or from networked +# tables such as NIS, LDAP or SQL, each \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR +# query produces a sequence of query patterns as described below. +# +# Each query pattern is sent to each specified lookup table +# before trying the next query pattern, until a match is +# found. +# .IP "\fIuser\fR@\fIdomain address, address, ...\fR" +# Redirect mail for \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR to \fIaddress\fR. +# This form has the highest precedence. +# .IP "\fIuser address, address, ...\fR" +# Redirect mail for \fIuser\fR@\fIsite\fR to \fIaddress\fR when +# \fIsite\fR is equal to $\fBmyorigin\fR, when \fIsite\fR is listed in +# $\fBmydestination\fR, or when it is listed in $\fBinet_interfaces\fR +# or $\fBproxy_interfaces\fR. +# .sp +# This functionality overlaps with functionality of the local +# \fIaliases\fR(5) database. The difference is that \fBvirtual\fR(5) +# mapping can be applied to non-local addresses. +# .IP "@\fIdomain address, address, ...\fR" +# Redirect mail for other users in \fIdomain\fR to \fIaddress\fR. +# This form has the lowest precedence. +# .sp +# Note: @\fIdomain\fR is a wild-card. With this form, the +# Postfix SMTP server accepts +# mail for any recipient in \fIdomain\fR, regardless of whether +# that recipient exists. This may turn your mail system into +# a backscatter source: Postfix first accepts mail for +# non-existent recipients and then tries to return that mail +# as "undeliverable" to the often forged sender address. +# .sp +# To avoid backscatter with mail for a wild-card domain, +# replace the wild-card mapping with explicit 1:1 mappings, +# or add a reject_unverified_recipient restriction for that +# domain: +# +# .nf +# smtpd_recipient_restrictions = +# ... +# reject_unauth_destination +# check_recipient_access +# inline:{example.com=reject_unverified_recipient} +# unverified_recipient_reject_code = 550 +#.fi +# +# In the above example, Postfix may contact a remote server +# if the recipient is aliased to a remote address. +# RESULT ADDRESS REWRITING +# .ad +# .fi +# The lookup result is subject to address rewriting: +# .IP \(bu +# When the result has the form @\fIotherdomain\fR, the +# result becomes the same \fIuser\fR in \fIotherdomain\fR. +# This works only for the first address in a multi-address +# lookup result. +# .IP \(bu +# When "\fBappend_at_myorigin=yes\fR", append "\fB@$myorigin\fR" +# to addresses without "@domain". +# .IP \(bu +# When "\fBappend_dot_mydomain=yes\fR", append +# "\fB.$mydomain\fR" to addresses without ".domain". +# ADDRESS EXTENSION +# .fi +# .ad +# When a mail address localpart contains the optional recipient delimiter +# (e.g., \fIuser+foo\fR@\fIdomain\fR), the lookup order becomes: +# \fIuser+foo\fR@\fIdomain\fR, \fIuser\fR@\fIdomain\fR, \fIuser+foo\fR, +# \fIuser\fR, and @\fIdomain\fR. +# +# The \fBpropagate_unmatched_extensions\fR parameter controls whether +# an unmatched address extension (\fI+foo\fR) is propagated to the +# result of table lookup. +# VIRTUAL ALIAS DOMAINS +# .ad +# .fi +# Besides virtual aliases, the virtual alias table can also be used +# to implement virtual alias domains. With a virtual alias domain, all +# recipient addresses are aliased to addresses in other domains. +# +# Virtual alias domains are not to be confused with the virtual mailbox +# domains that are implemented with the Postfix \fBvirtual\fR(8) mail +# delivery agent. With virtual mailbox domains, each recipient address +# can have its own mailbox. +# +# With a virtual alias domain, the virtual domain has its +# own user name space.

For a description of +# regular expression lookup table syntax, see \fBregexp_table\fR(5) +# or \fBpcre_table\fR(5). +# +# Each pattern is a regular expression that is applied to the entire +# address being looked up.

For a description of the TCP +# client/server lookup protocol, see \fBtcp_table\fR(5). +# This feature is not available up to and including Postfix version 2.4. +# +# Each lookup operation uses the entire address once.
