The redirection via the valiases file is not the solution
for my needs. I want to host a couple of mail addresses
and domains on the machine, so that some 'local_parts'
appear more than one time. (e.g. info@... or mail@...)

So I want the mail to mail@xyz to be placed in an mbox
file called mail-xyz and mail to mail@abc acordingly.
And this should be controlled by a file similar to the
/etc/valiases.
