You can do it either way. If you use a single file with fqd names, you
must set "include_domains" on the aliasfile director. If you use a
separate file for each domain you can use a single director with an
option such as
file = /etc/aliases/$domain
or you can have several different directors, each one with
domains = whatever
so that each one processes certain domains only.
