There's nothing magic about the term "virtual domain", it's just a
handy mechanism that qmail provides. It's often used for handling the
local domain specially.

I'm not sure...I can't tell exactly what you're trying to do.

No, you can't pick up mail via SMTP. SMTP delivers mail. You could
pick it up with POP or IMAP, or use the AutoTURN trick to cause the
qmail system to flush the messages to the Exchange server.

Perhaps you mean "echo", not "cat". What do you mean by "relay all
email from my domain out into the internet"?

As long as you have a control/rcpthosts, you won't be an open relay.
