Yeah, here's the relevant bit:

#        Support for a virtual alias domain looks like:
#
#        /etc/postfix/main.cf:
#            virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual
#
#            Note: some systems use dbm databases instead of  hash.
#            See the output from postconf -m for available database
#            types.
#
#        /etc/postfix/virtual:
#            virtual-alias.domain anything (right-hand content does not 
matter)
#            postmaster at virtual-alias.domain      postmaster
#            user1 at virtual-alias.domain   address1
#            user2 at virtual-alias.domain   address2, address3
#
#
#        The virtual-alias.domain anything entry is required for  a
#        virtual alias domain. Without this entry, mail is rejected
#        with "relay access denied", or bounces  with  "mail  loops
#        back to myself".
