Actually, it's not that hard.

What I did was create a file, /etc/postfix/virtusertable, formatted like so:

domain1.org Descriptive Name of domain 1
user1@(protected)
user2@(protected)
@domain1.org localusernameX (this domain user wished a catch all)

domain2.org Descriptive Name of domain 2
user1@(protected)

etc, etc.

Next, run "postmap has:/etc/postfix/virtusertable" to create the hash db.

Next, add "virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtusertable" to your
/etc/postfix/main.cf.

Also, make sure you have a file like "/etc/postfix/virtual_domains"
containing the virtual domains, and then add the path to that file in
main.cf as a line looking like:

mydestination = /etc/postfix/virtual_domains.

Alternately, you could list the virtual domains directly on the
"mydestination" line, but I like to keep my main.cf as clean as possible.

Now, "service postfix reload" or "/etc/init.d/postfix reload" to reload
the configuration and bring in the virtual user table and the list of
virtual domains, and voila!!!
