I'm afraid we're going to need more details than that to be very helpful.

But for postfix you should have a line like

virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

in main.cf

then in virtual you need a line declairing the domain then lines
following that saying where the e-mail is to go

mydomain.example.com mydomain.example.com
foo at mydomain.example.com mylocaluser
bar at mydomain.example.com forward at address.example.com
@mydomain.example.com anotherlocaluser

then compile the virtual file and tell postfix to read the changes

sudo postmap /etc/postfix/virtual ; sudo postfix reload
