Which part don't you get?
There are multiple ways of serving virtual mail domains.
It depends on how you want users to retreive their mail from the server, ie
which pop3/imapd server u use.

The easiest way is to setup per domain alias files that ponts to a local
user. All pop3/imap servers should support this.

I would suggest that u play with another server (not the production) and
test different ways to do it til you come up with a solution that suits your
needs, then move it to the production server.
