RTFAQ:
Q0405: On a host that accepts mail for several domains, do I have to use fully
qualified names in /etc/aliases or do I have to set up an alias file for
each domain?
A0405: You can do it either way. If you use a single file, 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
(as in C007), or you can have several different directors, each one with
domains = domain1:domain2:...
so that each one processes certain domains only. That way you could have
several domains sharing an alias file. All of this assumes that you want
have different aliases for each domain. If all the domain names are in
effect just synonyms, you don't need to do anything other than ensure
they all match something in local_domains.
