Hi,

I'm using postfix in a virtual domain setup, forwarding mails to dovecot 
using the dovecot lmtp server.
I also have aliases for the users on that virtual domain. This is 
configured as follows:

virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/valias

My question is simple. Let's imagine for example my alias file looks like :

nickname@example.com firtname.lastname@example.com

Mails sent to nickname@example.com will be redirected to 
firstname.lastname@example.com. Dovecot is configured to accept mails 
for firstname.lastname but not nickname.

My problem is that the Delivered-To header is always 
firstname.lastname@example.com. Even if the mail was sent to 
nickname@example.com. Is there a way postfix could set the Delivered-To 
header before the virtual alias are processed. Apparently, there is an 
option for local aliases (frozen_delivered_to 
<http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#frozen_delivered_to>) but not 
for virtual aliases.

Thank you,

Mildred

    Hi,<br>

    I'm using postfix in a virtual domain setup, forwarding mails to
