one case is a company with several offices, 4 aliases goes to office1,
10 aliases to user2 & nobody (all the rest) goes to central
So if someone in office1 wants to send a mail to the manager in central
their ftgate see that is not a local user & sends to ISP, user or alias
manager dont exist, so nobody should catch the mail & send it to central
