You don't. You make them virtual domains.
If you want some domains to be "mostly" local, i.e. you have only a few
addresses between which you want to distinguish and you want the rest to be
delivered to local accounts, you could have the following:
locals:
abc.com
virtualdomains:
def.com:alias-def
~alias/.qmail-def-info:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
~alias/.qmail-def-support:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
~alias/.qmail-def-default:
| forward "$DEFAULT"@abc.com
This will deliver mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] to addresses of your
choice, and anything else @def.com to a local account.
