To continue using the virtual host feature in Imail you will only be able to
setup users on one domain.  The way I would setup this server would be to
set mail.maindomain.com as the primary domain.  All users will be setup in
this domain.  When you want to setup an address in overlooked.com you will
go to that domain and add an alias that points to the
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  You can then add a cname record in DNS that points
mail.overlooked.com to mail.maindomain.com.  This will allow the setup to be
virtually transparent.  The only other way around this would be to assign
unique IP addresses to each other mail host.
