Except when they are well done. vpopmail, vmailmgr...don't exim also
have something written for it to manage virtual mailboxes?

Please stop muddling things for newbies. A line with a pipe in the
.forward file means deliver mail to program through a pipe. A line with
a path means deliver a copy to this mailbox and a line with an email
address means forward a copy to the email address.
You are mixing up 'mailertables' on sendmail, 'transports' on postfix
and 'smtproutes' on qmail with .forward/.qmail local delivery
instruction files.

-_-. "intra-MTA routing" has nothing to do with local delivery...

Anyway, nice to see that Bryan is still on the list.
