One of the conventions I use for dealing with mail is to use internal
non-sendable domains for doing mailrouting, so I have, for example,
aliases that are:

alias file for external.list.domain:
| foo: foo@mailman
| foo-request: foo-request@mailman
| foo-admin: foo-owner@mailman
| foo-owner: foo-owner@mailman
| owner-foo: foo-owner@mailman


and, in another setup, I'm using foo@cyrus, to indicate that these messages
are for "local" users within the cyrus imapd. I want to qualify globally to
something that I can check system aliases for, but qualify unqualified names
within these aliasfiles to @cyrus (mainly because I think that it makes them
clearer).

Really, it's useful for making the aliases files that I'm using a bit less
cluttered.
