Certainly.

Not really. But I can see how one might come to that conclusion.

/etc/postfix/main.cf:
    canonical_maps = type:/etc/postfix/canonical

/etc/postfix/canonical:
    Al.Bundy abundy
    albundy abundy

Do "postmap canonical" and "postfix reload" and you're all set.

Observe the caveats in canonical(5) regarding "$mydestination" and
"$myorigin."

FWIW: I generally use aliases for this kind of thing.

Jim
