I do seem to have changed that to "separtely distributed" in my latest
FAQ text, but you are right - adding an explicit URL would be helpful
and I will do it.

This could be made to work. If the file got big, you should consider
converting it to a dbm or cdb file for better performance. There is no
reason why you couldn't have

local_domains = ...others... : lsearch;/that/file

and also use

file = /that/file
search_type = lsearch

in an aliasfile director, BUT you must also put

include_domain

in the aliasfile director, so that it looks up "bob@???" and not
just "bob".
