oh well, if you really are having that much trouble,

straight from the FAQ and docs I got the following configuration

local_domains = localhost:chiru:lsearch;/etc/mail-virtual-domains

that file lists the virtual domains this server serves

then in the directors section of the configuration after real_local (I put it
before system aliases and other stuff also, but this is something you may want
to think about, persaonally I think it works best as then you do truly get all
the aliases and such as local if need be (like webmaster@ root@ for each
domain)

virtual:
driver = aliasfile
pipe_transport = address_pipe
domains = /etc/mail-virtual-domains
no_more
file = /etc/mail-virtual/$domain
search_type = lsearch*

then the files in the directory are the domain names like
foo.com


which simply contain aliases such as

sjh: sjh@localhost
fish: joe@???

        See You
