[nflug] Alias Question

[Darin Perusich]

from the bat book pg 275.

"a virtusertable is a database that maps virtual (possibly nonexistent) 
domains to new addresses. essentially it gives you a database hook into 
the early part of rule set 0. Note that this only reroutes delivery. It 
does not change mail headers."
