[postfix-users] Difference mydestination and virtual_alias_domains etc.

[Dennis]

Ich hätte eigentlich darauf kommen können, das ich meine Frage auch in 
deutsch stellen kann, ist ja schließlich nicht das erste Mal das ich
meine Fragen auf der postifx Mailingliste stelle und dankenswerterweise 
immer nette Unterstützung erfahren habe.

Da ich allerdings auf mehreren Mailinglisten unterwegs bin, war englisch 
jetzt irgendwie die Macht der Gewohnheit.
In diesem Sinne, danke für die Beantwortung meiner Fragen :)
