	makemap builds a database file from key,value pairs.
	it expects each key to be unique.
	when duplicate keys are found, makemap emits this error message.
	remove the duplicate keys.

	each of these keys are unique.
	your input file contains keys that are duplicates.

	try this 
	create a local alias that contains
	"mainuser1@domain.com, mainuser2@domain.com"
	call it mainusers.
	use mainusers in the virtusertable

virusertable:
	mainuser@domain.com  mainusers
/etc/aliases
mainusers:	mainuser1@domain.com,mainuser2@domain.com
