I think you misunderstood me, but you still helped me figure it out. I
don't want anything to go to a local mailbox. I rarely ssh to the
server, so I would never get any local mail. Hence, I need local mail
to 'bob' to be redirected to 'bobacmehosting.com', where I'll
eventually see it with my imap client. I just had to add the line
   boblocalhost.localhost bobacmehosting.com
to /etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox_aliases

Thanks for the help.
