    Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question, but wouldn't this help (from
    another message by Wietse last week):

    That is, in the virtual table you can force any addresses to be ignored
    by the "catch all" address by making the ignored addresses map to
    themselves. Then those ignored addresses can be processed directly by
    your virtual mailbox system.

    It may well be ugly, but with automated methods of generating the maps
    from one central location it's certainly a tolerable solution -- you can
    maintain just one file and use some perl scripts to hide all the details.
