It's a place holder, borrowed from sendmail rewriting if I can remember that
far back. It could be something else. The point of it is to be rewritten and
replaced by the local_part. I could call it mylocalpartplacehold, but %1 works.
So

user@domain -> %1-suffix@domain -> user-suffix@domain

Here's a wildcard example for a virtual domain that takes all local_parts for
the virtual example.com and converts them to local_parts for the localdomain.

example.com.virtual_file:
*: %1

anyth...@example.com -> %1@localdomain -> anything@localdomain
