The "domains" option already exists.

Why do you want to do this? It seems to me that you are suggesting
creating accounts for all users of your virtual domains in a single
password file. This is not a good idea. You are better off keeping
different domains' user lists in separate files - *definitely* if they
are just flat files.

I take it you mean "x@???", and that you want to deliver that to
the local user d1.x. What is wrong with
virtualdomain1:
driver = smartuser
domains = domain1.com
new_address = d1.$local_part
which achieves exactly the same thing? (Assuming that the new address
is handled by some localuser director, of course.)
