The problem is that the virtual alias table is applied to ALL
recipients, so if you put

   /^postmaster@/               postmaster@localhost

in your pcre virtual alias table users who try to send mail to
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" \
href="mailto:postmaster@hotmail.com">postmaster@hotmail.com</a>, <a \
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" \
href="mailto:postmaster@aol.com">postmaster@aol.com</a>, or whatever are in for a big \
surprise.

Generate the required aliases or store them in LDAP.
