I do everything in the /etc/mail/virtusertable, you run into the
problem having multiple users with the same name. I have gotten around
that by pointing the mail to a diffrent username. Example in the
virtusertable I have
[EMAIL PROTECTED] webmaster1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] webmaster2
[EMAIL PROTECTED] webmaster3
This way you can have multiple webmasters or users with the same name at
diffrent domains but they are re directed to a diffrent user name. Hope
this is not confusing you but helps. And it works for me just fine. I am
hosting about 30 domains on one server both web and mail.
