understanding propagate_unmatched_extension and canonical

Ok, I am on the final leg of my migration from qmail. The last
thing I need to figure out is the propagate_unmatched_extension and
canonical. The problem is simply, the UNIX user has the name mj,
but the email address is mikejones.

It looks like propagate_unmatched_extension should be set to the
default and that an entry needs to be added to the
/etc/postfix/canonical file. Is there anything else that needs to
be done?

I played with adding things to the canonical file, but no where have
I been able to find out what the format of cononical should be. I
tried both:

mikejones mj

and

mikejones: mj

Neither worked.
