Ok. The first thing you want to do is make an aliases. A single alias can
map to multiple email's, but a virtuser entry can only map to one. Thus,
the easy solution: map a virtuser entry to an alias, such that:
in virtusertable:
-----------------
core at foo.com your-new-alias
in aliases:
-----------
your-new-alias: user1, user2, user3, etc.
Note that if you do it this way, anyone who has "core at foo.com" will NOT get
any email - sendmail will resolve only to the three emails matching the
alias. So, if core@ should receive it too, make it core-mailing@, and throw
core@ into the your-new-alias.
core at foo2.com will not be affected by these changes. Let me know if you
need more info...
