Yes, that would be pretty good!  I have a few sites with
3-5 virtual domains, and I have to maintain them in far
too many files.

What would also be good would be a way to map one-to-many
addresses in cyrus with virtual domains, rather than
having to map them to an /etc/aliases entry that then
expands them out (which is a really clunky hack).  I
don't think that's necessarily relevant to your work
though.  Just a wishlist item :)  Postfixes' virtual
file does this sensibly, sendmail's virtusertable
is too limiting.

If you're ever in Australia, I owe you beer and pizza!
