Hi,

I'm relatively new to Linux and have managed to get (just about) 
everything but Postfix working as I need it..I'll post the entire 
question here in the hope that someone can help me :-)

Having mostly followed the instructions in the Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm 
HOWTO
(http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO/index.html), 
I'm having a few problems with the setup of Postfix to correctly handle 
3 domains and a catchall at one of them.  For argument's sake let's say 
I have the domains a.com, b.com and c.com.  a.com has 2 addresses set up 
- a@a.com -> Cyrus user a, b@a.com -> Cyrus user b, the other two 
domains have a very similar setup but with only one address each.

This works until I try to add a catchall address on a.com so that 
anything that doesn't have an explicit mailbox goes to the Cyrus user c.  
However, as soon as I add this to web-cyradm and therefore the mysql 
database, *all* email at a.com is sent to the catchall user.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?  I think the problem lies 
with my settings of virtual_alias_maps/database, or 
virtual_mailbox_domains, or possibly the mydestination setting - some 
Web pages say to have all hosted domains in there, some say not to.  
Help!  Thanks. :-)

(email address doesn't work since Postfix isn't running at the moment 
;-)
