Greetings,
Firstly apologies for the newbie questions but I can't find the answers anywhere
else (or maybe I did but I confused myself in the process).

I have recently acquired *one* domain name which I wish to use for email. I have a Debian Linux system which I have installed postfix on (with the pcre package). I wish to have a variety of email addresses for the domain name (eg maccaexample.org and janeexample.org) without having to have actual login accounts for them on the system. I also don't want to have to use mysql to store account data (as I won't have any more than a dozen email accounts and it's therefore overkill).

I have been trying to use virtual domains(http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_mailbox\) with limited (none) success. I believe it would have been appropriate if I had multiple domains on the one host (But I don't.. Possibly I may add more in the future...). It is also complicated because I can't specify my real domain name in main.cf "mydestination = domain.org" because it has to be in virtual_mailbox_domains" and thus leaves my server identifying itself to other mta's by it's "mydestination" LAN hostname (eg puppy.LAN). I haven't got all this working yet and am beginning to think it is not the best way to meet my objectives.

I have tried to find some pointers/howto's which deal with setting up virtual users on one domain name without using mysql and there doesn't seem to be any. I have tried using bits and pieces of the but this being my first time with postfix it all ends in a mess. Is what I am trying to do possible?

Thanks,
Brett
