Postfix - want to send email to some non-existent user using alias

Hi,

I know how to use email redirection using /etc/aliases file + postfix combination and it is working fine for existing users.

The question I have is: I want to send an email to tony@server1.example.com while tony user is actually not there. Rather, I want to redirect that email to todd@server1.example.com I can redirect if "tony" exist on this server1.example.com - but when it doesn't exist on server1.example.com, then the mail delivery fails and bounce back to original server sending that email.

Is there any way to work around it? I dont want to create that user "tony" but still want to receive his email to "todd" account using email redirection.

thanks.

pygm2n(1)						    Python Gateway mail to news 						 pygm2n(1)

NAME
pygm2n - Python Gateway mail to news SYNOPSIS
pygm2n -n newsgroups [ -s newsserver ] [ -h ] DESCRIPTION
IMPORTANT: this man page is to be continued. The Whole pyg gateway is in devel. state. try -h option for more detailed option. pygm2n reads from stdin an email, sending it to newsgroups, a comma separated list without spaces of newsgroup names (at least one), rfc799 compliant. If pygm2n reads from stdin a sigle line starting with /, it is considered an absolute path to a single-email mailbox, so pygm2n will open and read it. Note that now pyg can't read a real mailbox, with many emails. If you give it in input, pyg will post the whole mailbox as a single email. EXAMPLES
There is some documetation in /urs/share/doc/pyg I created mailgate user (moderator of local.moderated ng). Subscribe to a list with this user (or simply email one message to). Every email posted to this user will send to newsgroups, in its .procmailrc I've put something like: :0 bh * ^From *mailinglist-request@lists.debian.org | $HOME/pygm2n -n local.debian.mailinglist AUTHORS
