The mailertable maps domains to MTAs (smtp, local, uucp, etc.).  The way we
use it (we being a small ISP), anyway, goes like this:

foo.com                 smtp:mail.foo.com
bar.com                 local
blah.com                smtp:other.relay.com
oldandtired.org         uucp:mail.oldandtired.org

Where the domain to be mapped is on the left, and the right is <MTA>:relay


The virtusertable is an alias file for the domains.  We use it like:

@foo.com        user@domain.com

user2@bar.com   localuser
user1@bar.com   other_user@domain.com
@bar.com        error

Where the left side is the alisa, and the right side is the account to which
the alias forwards.

Todd
