New text for postconf(5):

virtual_alias_maps (default: $virtual_maps)

    Optional lookup tables with aliases that apply for all email
    deliveries, unlike alias_maps that apply only for local(8)
    delivery. [...]

alias_maps (default: see "postconf -d" output)

    Optional lookup tables with aliases that apply only for local(8)
    delivery, unlike virtual_alias_maps which apply for all email
    deliveries. [...]

New text for ADDRESS_CLASS_README:

Virtual aliasing

    Note: virtual aliasing (virtual_alias_maps) applies for all
    email deliveries, unlike local aliasing (alias_maps) which
    applies only to local(8) delivery.

Local alias database

    Note: local aliasing (alias_maps) applies only for local(8)
    delivery, unlike virtual aliasing (virtual_alias_maps) which
    applies for all email deliveries.

Are there any other placs that need to bve updated?
