Yes, the Syntax is wrong. (^-^)

/etc/postfix/main.cf:
virtual_alias_maps = pcre:/etc/postfix/virtual.pcre

/etc/postfix/virtual.pcre:
/(.+)@example.com/	$1 at example.com, $1 at archive.example.com


A much bigger problem is, that this wildcard alias is destroying recipient
validation. This is only viable, if this alias is applied after recipient
validation took place. Don't use this on your mx!
