    I suspect you are confusing two very different concepts - postfix has
    had a "virtual" user table forever (a long time, anyway) - this allows
    you to rewrite envelope recipient addresses while they are in transit
    (unlike the alias map, while does roughly the same thing, but during
    local delivery).

    There is also a patch I wrote, that Wietse is in the process of
    integrating, which is a "virtual" local delivery agent: a local
    delivery agent for sites who's users are not in /etc/passwd, but in
    some other type of map (maybe mysql, maybe libdb...).
