User can't create *@example.com => @otherdomain.com alias.

Solution :

user define *@example.com => *@otherdomain.com in modoboa-admin user interface
append TRIM(LEADING '*' FROM al.extmboxes) here : https://github.com/modoboa/modoboa-admin/blob/master/modoboa_admin/postfix_maps.py#L66

What do you think about this solution ?

As modoboa already provides a way to create domain aliases (based on http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#virtual_alias_domains), we need to know what's the best mechanism.

Trim leading * from alias addresses before saving them would reduce wrong user input for catch-all aliases. Doing it in the mapping file is to late in my opinion. And adding domain aliases this way is confusing. The already provided way is much clearer for me.

Catchall aliases are no longer defined using a * character. Modoboa does now respect the internal postfix format.
