            Actually what works is having the "Sendmail-style" virtual
    domain directed somewhere else via the transport table. This requires
    no queue manager patches. The corresponding Postfix-style domain is a
    synthetic byproduct of the stacked virtual map, that only manifests
    itself for unknown users.

            Specifically mail sent to Usermorganstanley.com is either
    rewritten to Userdivision.com (with morganstanley.com being one of the
    valid divisions!). Mail for none of the domains in question is
    delivered locally, they all have transport entries to forward the mail
    to the appropriate division mail hubs. In fact mailbox_transport is set
    to "error:Mailbox unavailable".

            Again, this is just a technique that at the cost of delayed
    bounces, creates a hybrid Sendmail-style/Postfix-style domain where
    unknown users are bounced, but known users can resolve into the virtual
    domain.
