Well, yes... Multiplicate the amount of addersses whith 10 and the
amount of domains whith 500 and the amount of wierd transport ways whith 7
and you would get the raw picture that I have on *one* machine here. Using
your scheme here will result in what I call configuration chaos.

It's too limited tooday. Ok, a new driver then, call it directorfile:
virtual_domain:
domains = dbm;/etc/mail/domains,
driver = directorfile,
more = false;
file = /etc/mail/$domain,
search_type = lsearch*
This file should be very similar to an aliasfile:
# File /etc/mail/pub.com
foo1: foo;smtpbatch
# ^^^\^^^^^^^^^\
# \ This is the specified director to send it to.
# This would be some data, like which batchfile.
#
foo2: foo;smtpbatch, foo@???, me@???
# /^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# Some other normal addresses to send it to.
#
foo3: foobar
# ^^^^^^\
# So here are your new alias that will
# make a new "RCPT TO" then :)
#
foobar: foo;smtpbatch
# So mailing to foo3 + foobar would create two
# RCPT TO: foobar@???
#
*: therest
# ^^^^^^^\
# Probably a normal user.
#
Then the directors needs some match to prevent the normal mail to go
through these special directors like:
smtpbatch:
match_lastdirector = virtual_domain,
driver = localuser,
transport = smtpbatch_delivery;
Would all this make it easier for you :-)
