I don't remember any such warning, and I don't see what problem this would cause even if the servers are on different machines. > I'll probably end up using SQL for the alias maps with some kind of > simple front-end (quickly put together with CodeCharge) to maintain > them.

I don't know what you mean by "virtual canonical domains". These are "virtual alias domains". The problem you are facing is that virtual aliases are not recursively expanded at smtp time. if you don't need recursion, you can use sql easily. otherwise, a policy server can do whatever you want.
