Make PL/pgSQL function feed back identity for mailboxes/relocated when there are catchall destinations. Without catchall aliases, if no virtual_alias matches, the query can just return NULL and Postfix will later check mailboxes/relocated for the address to rewrite. However, since virtual aliases are handled long before mailboxes/relocated, a catchall alias would also catch mail to mailboxes and relocated addresses, which we do not want. The way to tell postfix to keep delivering is for the virtual alias map to return the search key itself (identity function). This patch changes the postfix_virtual_alias_maps Pl/pgSQL function to do exactly that, but only if there are catchall destinations defined for the domain in question — otherwise it returns NULL when no match is found.

:mod:`VirtualMailManager.Relocated` --- Handling of relocated users
===================================================================

.. module:: VirtualMailManager.Relocated
  :synopsis: Handling of relocated users

.. moduleauthor:: Pascal Volk <neverseen@users.sourceforge.net>

.. toctree::
   :maxdepth: 2


This module provides the :class:`Relocated` class. The data are read
from/stored in the ``relocated`` table. An optional lookup table, used
by Postfix for the "``user has moved to new_location``" reject/bounce message.


Relocated
---------
.. class:: Relocated(dbh, address)

  Creates a new *Relocated* instance. If the relocated user with the given
  *address* is already stored in the database use :meth:`get_info` to get the
  destination address of the relocated user. To set or update the destination
  of the relocated user use :meth:`set_destination`. Use :meth:`delete` in
  order to delete the relocated user from the database.
  
  :param dbh: a database connection
  :type dbh: :class:`pyPgSQL.PgSQL.Connection`
  :param address: the e-mail address of the relocated user.
  :type address: :class:`VirtualMailManager.EmailAddress.EmailAddress`


  .. method:: delete()
  
    :rtype: :obj:`None`
    :raise VirtualMailManager.errors.RelocatedError: if the relocated user
      doesn't exist.

    Deletes the relocated user from the database.


  .. method:: get_info()

    :rtype: :class:`VirtualMailManager.EmailAddress.EmailAddress`
    :raise VirtualMailManager.errors.RelocatedError: if the relocated user
      doesn't exist.

    Returns the destination e-mail address of the relocated user.


  .. method:: set_destination(destination)

    :param destination: the new address where the relocated user has moved to
    :type destination: :class:`VirtualMailManager.EmailAddress.EmailAddress`
    :rtype: :obj:`None`
    :raise VirtualMailManager.errors.RelocatedError: if the *destination*
      address is already saved or is the same as the relocated user's address.

    Sets or updates the *destination* address of the relocated user.
