Postfix prioritizes aliases instead of mailboxes.

Hi,

I have postfix and mysql set up on FC9. Everything works fine, except if I add a wildcard adress to the `alias` table on mysql (i.e. @sample.com), any email I send to anything@sample.com will go to the alias, even though i have `anything@sample.com` in my `mailbox` table. Can't figure out why is that.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

The catch-all should be at the end of the alias file (or mysql table). Postfix will try each address found in the virtual map.. if the !@domain.tld entry is in the first line, it will match and abort further search.

this would be the answer if postfix would ignore another alias, but it ignores mailboxes, which are on a completely different mysql table. it's like it checks for an alias first and, if it can't find any, looks for the mailbox then.
