Not to be obtuse, but why not?  If you already go to the trouble of adding
an MX record for each of those domains, then adding a simple line
local-host-names for the same domain when you do the rest of the set up is
a trivial matter.  And then it becomes easy to redirect mail to the unused
domains--just add another line to virtusertable something like:

 @yetanotherdomain.com	unuseddomains

Where "unuseddomains" is the local address of a mailbox meant for handling
mail to these domains.  Or just bounce it all:

 @yetanotherdomain.com	error:nouser This domain does not accept mail
