domain (real + virtual) mapping question

    I'm using postfix with 2 domains: a main "rfi.net" domain, and another virtual
    domain.

    The main domain is handled via /etc/postfix/aliases linked to /etc/aliases,
    and has hard-wired "name"s on the left-hand side, with existing system user
    accounts on the right-hand side, as the default setup, plus several entries
    for explictly diverted majordomo aliases. And works fine, eg:

            hostmaster: root

    # main.cf has:

            alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/aliases

    The virtual domain is handled via /etc/postfix/virtual_alias_maps, and this
    uses regexes to map particular name.patterns to various user accounts. And
    works fine, eg:

            /name\.\w+@virtual.net/

    My problem is that I would like to have the 'main' domain also able to use a
    regex to divert email to particular user accounts, which description in the
    docs is eluding me. If I place the main domain in the virtual table, postfix
    rightfully complains about not mixing incompatible configurations, but if I
    put the main domain in the aliases table, I appear to lose the regex
    facility... I hope this is clear? What I very simply want to do is this:

            /name\.\w+@main.net/

    I'm sure it's something obvious in the docs, but being a postfix newbie, I am
    simply lost amongst all the virtual domains, virtual aliases, alias_maps,
    aliases, transport_maps, etc. etc. If anyone has a simple hint which could
    help clarify the situation, I'd greatly appreciate it.

    TIA.
