                        they are the same

                  mail2 is an alias for mail4.. they
                  both point to the same machine.


                        Which way would you like
                        to go, virtual or local?


                  I think virtual for no other reason
                  then I have used it for a long time
                  now and have scripts that use it.



            I've had a longer look at this now and I think
            you have found a little
            bug for Julian to add to his work stack :-(

            How are you forwarding the spam to Postfix? It
            looks like you just
            dumping the output into the out going queue? If
            so it is not being
            cleaned up and aliases resolved by either the
            pickup or trivial-rewrite
            processes so the qmanager just bounces the mail
            as undeliverable. I have
            tried it on my system here and proved it. If you
            specify a local address
            or alias as the forward address it works fine (No
            aliasing required so
            the qmgr just delivers it), if you specify a
            virtual domain address it
            gets bounced. The clue is here in the log:

            Mar  8 08:43:53 proxy postfix/error[17012]:
            832783132D:
            to=<rgreen at trayerproducts.com>,
            orig_to=<unknown>, relay=none, delay=6,
            status=bounced (user unknown in virtual alias
            table)

            Notice the orig_to line is unknown. That should
            have the original to
            address in it and the to= should be the aliased
            address (i.e. where it
            is being delivered to).


                  Thanks for your help Drew!
