Please pardon my ignorance just for a moment, and permit a question that 
may have a very simple answer...

What is "virtual" about a "virtualdomain"?

We host many domains on a single qmail POP server, and they are all very 
real. Their MX records all point to that server and for all intents and 
purposes, that is "home" for them.

To me, "virtualdomains" are equivalent to, simply, domains. The prepend 
feature of "virtualdomains" is the only mechanism I know of in qmail to 
isolate the user namespace of one domain from each other domain, so that 
there can be a [EMAIL PROTECTED] and a [EMAIL PROTECTED] with no ambiguity 
or contention. That way qmail can handle multiple domains seamlessly in a 
single "assign" file.

Please educate me... :)
