You lost me. Is it in addition to 2 lines above?

I know. I tried /./!/[.]my\.domain$/, but
mail starts bouncing with:

Mar 5 14:11:57 myhost postfix/smtp[566]: 262C0330A7: to=<postmastermydomain.com>, relay=none, delay=0, status=bounced (Name service error for domain postmaster: Host not found)

smtp treats user name as domain name. Any ideas why?

Just to recap: I have internal host that has list of aliases
user:userbox1.my.dom, user:userbox2.my.dom . It delivers mail to
box?.my.dom and bounced mail directly outside. I'd like to forward
all outgoing (bounced) mail to my outside gateway. What is the best
way to do it?
