You probably want something like this: alias_database = hash:$config_directory/aliases alias_maps = hash:$config_directory/aliases I personally prefer to put my aliases together with postfix' other files, in /usr/local/etc/postfix, which is what $config_directory expands to. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
