I see. You could put the following in the valiases file:
mail@xyz: mail-xyz@xyz
mail@abc: mail-abc@abc
But that wouldn't be very pretty. IIRC you can use ${domain} to get the
domain part of the address, so you could use a line like:
file = VIRTUAL_HOME_PATH/127.0.0.1/mail/${local_part}-${domain}
instead of the line
file = VIRTUAL_HOME_PATH/127.0.0.1/mail/${local_part}
in the HOWTO.
Hope this helps,
