it is the job of postfix to do this, aliases are just that, aliases of
the real mail account, they do not exist in real storage, else, they would not be alias.
The problem i'm trying to solve is about dovecot capability to serve quota status via Postfix policy server protocol. It works fine when the destination address is a real mailbox, but if it's a Postfix alias, then the email is not rejected because dovecot doesn't know this user. Maybe it's a wrong idea to try to make Postfix alias visible to dovecot.
Do you have another suggestion ?
of course its wrong mail aliases are for MTA's *only* its not for dovecot (or any pop3/imap server), if postfix is not saying oh ok alias foo really goes to user bar, do we;ll check out bar's quota, status etc,, then ur postfix is foobarred somehow.
