Sure does.

Over on the Dovecot side of things, I have the passdb/userdb files split out
by domain name.  This allows me to manage restricted access.  That means I
can permit a less-technical administrator to access only certain domains.
If they cause a problem, or some other problem happens when they are
updating, there is less exposure to failure (and less work the update
regression tests I could add to that have to do).

So it looks like I'll need to regenerate the virtual_alias_map file every
time even users are updated (much more frequent then how often domains are
updated), and run the mail system tests more often.  I can, of course,
generate them from those Dovecot passdb files.
