Hmmm.. well it appears that you're supposed to do this with a
FEATURE(`redirect') in Sendmail.  I probably would have just put in a
virtusertable map that user the "error:" prefix...

Here is the relevant paragraph from the Sendmail docs, if you can get
postfix to reply with this SMTP error on a 'RCPT' verb that contains
the moved address, you're home free.

,----
| redirect        Reject all mail addressed to "address.REDIRECT" with
|                 a ``551 User has moved; please try <address>'' message.
|                 If this is set, you can alias people who have left
|                 to their new address with ".REDIRECT" appended.

If you want more help with this, we should take it out-of-band.  We're
now off-topic for this list. ;)
