this whole thing does not make sense. named virtual domain are an
issue with http and webservers. mail is delivered to the MX, if you
do not set up an MX for your "virtual" domains and use only A
records, then your DNS is misconfigured.
unless you meant something different but someone will have to tell me
what it is as I have no much time to think at the moment.
