Yes. Based on a MySQL Domain Map, the server should relay mails for
"blah.invalid" to customer IP x.x.x.x, and so on.

No. Only root should receive some mails which are forwarded to
postmaster.

There are no virtual users, only domains.

None of these.

No mailboxes. Just forwards for some accounts like root.
