Right now I've got local_transport set to virtual, and I have a seperate
map for mydestination, which works "ok". The filter I need to use isn't
perfect because it returns all the users for a domain, which takes longer.
I fault myschema for this, not postfix.
The problem I was referring to was this. My users want to be able to setup
"forwarders" within their domain that do not have a mailbox, just forwarding
off to another host (AOL, whatever). For this I need to use a virtual_maps
map. There is probably some overlap between what I use virtual(5) for and what
I use virtual(8) for.
virtual(8) is a fantastic part of postfix. I can't imagine doing this
with real users.
Running commands is not an requirement at all, just being able to bounce
messages off to other addresses.
