Hi

err.. well from memory... ;o)

1. You will need a `virtual` table in /etc/postfix

This takes the format:

john at mydomain.com  john at aol.com
alan at mydomain.com  alan.holt at yahoo.co.uk

2. Then run /usr/sbin/postconf

3. Also `mydomain.com` and any other domains you wish to accept or 
forward mail for need to go in /etc/postfix/localdomains

I like postfix. It can also be made to talk to MySQL quite easily so all 
the forwarding changes can happen in real time, without running postconf.

BTW. I'm new to the list as well.
