The usefulness of /etc/mail/virtusertable is in translating e-mail addresses from one format to another, e.g. delivering wildcarded domain addresses to multiple local mailboxes. Although what you describe can be done using virtusertable, this is a good example for the use of /etc/mail/aliases. Look at /etc/mail/aliases for the required syntax. You can put multiple names on the right-hand-side of an alias separated by a space. Placing a comma after a name on the right-hand-side of an alias prevents that entry being parsed as an alias itself.
