Postfix can propagate address extensions (-pager) in a lot of ways,
all under control of the propagate_unmatched_extensions parameter.

The default setting is:

    propagate_unmatched_extensions = canonical, virtual

Which does not propagate address extensions to addresses found in
aliases, in .forward files or :include: files.

In order to get help you need to explain how john-pagermaKintosh.com
is aliased/forwarded to is aliased/forwarded to mypagersemailaddress.com.
