So what if a given domain is, instead, going to have addresses forwarded back out to some other mail server? Or worse, what if a given domain has some users forwarding to an address that is delivered via virtual transport and some other users forwarding to an address that goes elsewhere? Or even a user forwarding to two or more addresses in different places. Documentation is vague on what this is for. -- sHiFt HaPpEnS!
