You don't need a local domain for foo.com with the virtual mapping. The MTA just does an envelope sender rewrite and sends it on its way. This is particularly important when local domains and remote domains are treated differently, say wrt content filtering and domain specific transports. The usual solution is: In your global user maps, create a mapping from [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Further mail routing is done via MX records. Only one on the .example.com needs to be a local domain. With all these being globally routable, we only need to replicate this map to every server. This could be stored in LDAP, MySQL, PgSQL, flat files.....
