Hi,

I'm rejecting mail to users such as root, hostmaster, administrator and so on
on my mail server. Apart from that, mail to unknown users is rejected.

For one user (username: "mike"), I need an alias "michael". As "michael" does
not exist in /etc/passwd mail to michaelmy.doma.in gets rejected.

I added some entries to /etc/postfix/virtual:

michaelmy.doma.in mike
michaelmy.second.doma.in mike
michaelmy.third.doma.in mike

It seems to work, but is this the correct way of doing this? Or is this rather
done in /etc/aliases or /etc/postfix/canonical?

Confused. What's the relevant section in the docs to distiguish the purpose of
these three files?

Cheers,
Raimund
