Because I like to do things the hard way...you should know me well
enough by now ;-)

I did not know that smtproutes overrides the attempt to deliver
locally of a virtual domain.
BTW, will doing what you suggest make the smtp daemon respond faster.
I brought the box on-line and noticed that it was taking up to a
minute to process 1 message from other machines on my network. (They
are sending to and from domains that are not listed as Virtual
domains) So I guess my question is, does a large smtpd_check_rules
file slow the daemon down drastically?
