I think some simple modification will be required.

I'm not a UUCP person, but I assume you'll need to turn this into
something like

saltair.com:     saltair
ikslc.com:       iss
graphcon.com:    graphcon


and use it in a domainlist router to pass such addresses to an
approprate pipe or appendfile transport (depending on how you interface
to UUCP).

That goes to an alias file for the acme.com domain

johndoe:      johndoe         
janedoe:      janedoe@??? 


(the first one not really being necessary) which you process with an
aliasfile director with the option domains=acme.com. If you have more
than one virtual domain you can use a single director with the domain
name as part of the file name. I don't think there's a way of mixing
virtual domains in the same alias file.
