Q: How to ... Generic names for mail users

Dear all,

I hope you all have had a happy and healthy start in 2005 and all my
best wishes to anyone here for the new year.

I have the following setup: postfix is the mail gateway towards and from
the internet and a mailssystem runs behind it to deal with the end
users. So far no problems to send/receive mail to the individual users.

Now I'd like to introduce a "generic name" for some of my mailusers:
   Real user: some.onemy.dom
   Generic name: some.one-[xxx]my.dom
The generic name consists of
   - the local part of real name
   - plus a dash (at least this would be my favourite)
   - plus a variable part [xxx] of any length.

So far I haven't found a way to get this done. The name extensions I
have found with using "some.one+xxxmy.dom" are not accepted by the
mailsystem behind.

Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Andreas
