This is too good to let lie. Are you bald after those 10 years of not
understanding man pages? If you aren't, you obviously didn't tear hard
enough ;)

canonical is simply a way of writing a *fully qualified* address from
one format to another. At least it is for me, and that works for me.

E.g:

mail for postmaster-at and abuse-at-domain_literals has to go to someone
the system knows about:

postmaster[212.238.97.135] postmasterbilly.demon.nl
abuse[212.238.97.135] abusebilly.demon.nl

The system accepts mail for abusedomain_literal, because canonical
rewrites to a form Postfix understands. In this case
local_recipient_maps.

Mail for tonnibilly.demon.nl would go to tonnihost-a.billy.demon.nl,
if my network, canonical maps and my DNS were so configured (which
they're not).

tonnibilly.demon.nl tonnihost-a.billy.demon.nl.

> mikejones mj

Where have you told your Postfix configuration that it should accept
mail for mikejones or mj without them being qualified? No, seriously,
*where* have you told Postfix that?

Start glueing the hair back on ;)
