This will work with Postfix, you might have to change some parameters.
It is downright ugly to have a single address exploded in a .forward
file to go to 6500 users. You really ought to use a mailing list manager
for that. You also have complex configuration requirements to stop
people from outside finding the allusers address and spamming all your
users wholesale with *one* email.
The bottom line, however, is that Postfix will of course be able to
deliver these mails, but it makes me cringe to think of an alias with
6500 recipients.
