The virtual delivery agent doesn't support procmail, .forward files, etc. I
believe you have no choice but to do some scripting (it can be ugly if you
insist ;-)
I'll assume that your talking about an email setup similar to the one
described at http://kirb.insanegenius.net/postfix.html ?
The only way that I can think of to do things like mail filtering, out of
office, etc. is by having a virtual map entry that forwards the email to an
alias as well as to the original user:
fraser@wehave.net fraser@wehave.net,fraser-filters
In the aliases file (which could be managed in mysql still) you would have the
alias fraser-filters pipe to a command that does whatever magic you need.
This might already be what you were thinking of?
I haven't tried this but it's the easiest way that I can think of supporting
mail filtering, out of office and such. You can also write postfix filters
which might have advantages.
If you find anything please followup here as it's something I think a lot of
people might be interested in.
