I'm running Postfix under Debian (Testing).

At present I use an option in my mailer to translate my senders local address to the address I want but I'd prefer to have it done by Postfix.

I want barry@localdomain to be translated to barry@beenthere-donethat.org.uk

I looked through the Postfix documentation and assumed that I need to use the /etc/postfix/canonical file. I have tried the following entries:

barry@localdomain barry@beenthere-donethat.org.uk @localdomain beenthere-donethat.org.uk

None of these work. I still get the included sender address as barry@localdomain.

I did remember to run postmap /etc/postfix/canonical and to be on the safe side I also ran postfix reload.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
