Monks, Lets start with the fact that i am not a perl coder - just a bit of a newbie. I have a variable $domain which contains data in the form of foo.com and i have a file, namely /etc/postfix/virtual which looks like this: 
foo.com        VIRTUALDOMAIN
@foo.com       bob
user1@foo.com  bob
user2@foo.com  john

bar.com     VIRTUALDOMAIN
@bar.com    bob
user1@bar.com chris

test.com    VIRTUALDOMAIN
@test.com   mike

This file is used by postfix to map e-mail addresses to user accounts, and must be kept in this formatting. Say if i have a new user that is called terry and wants the e-mail address of tag@foo.com then the line 'tag@foo.com terry' must be placed directly below the entry 'user2@foo.com john'. This applies to the other domains too, like billy wants an e-mail address of bill@bar.com, so the script must seek to below 'user1@bar.com chris' and write this data there. Thinking about it now, it would probably be easiest to seek to the '@foo.com bob', do a return and put the data in below that. Thanks People
