trying to understand locals and hosteddomains, is the following
correct?

locals is a single file; hosteddomains is a directory whose files are
catenated together.

hosteddomains is a superset of locals.

the format of each is the same, typically
mydomain.com
.mydomain.com
the second representing all subdomains of mydomain.com

hosteddomains must include each hostname with DNS AAAA, A or MX to this
machine. (locals, if no hosteddomains).

the primary difference is that mail accounts using local domains do not
need to specify the domain as part of the mail address.  conversely,
there cannot be two local domains having the same mail user, eg, there
cannot be [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]

hosteddomains is sync'd with makehosteddomains;
locals is sync'd with makealiases.

what else?

aliases:

if the domain is local in the mail of an alias, it cannot be specified.

if the domain is local in a maildrop of an alias, it cannot be
specified.

you cannot, for example, have [EMAIL PROTECTED] go one place and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] go another if local1.com and local2.com are local
domains.
