a local domain is a domain that a given mail server is authorative for
(generally the one with the lowest numbered mx for some domain), it says this
system handles mail for this domain, so the directors and routers dont send it
off elsewhere.

virtual domains are just this made up idea of having multiple domains hosted
on one machie, however you are saying that a given host is authorative for the
virtual domains it servers, thus you have to tell the mail system that this
ois one of your local domains.
