It all depends on how you want virtual users. so virtual is more a list of users that can be accepted at a particular domain so major use cases for that would be a relay host or you have one system user and want to dump mail into their mailbox from one of the users in virtual. There may be two but those are the ones off the top of my head userbase is you want to have mail users with different passwords, different mailboxes, etc. So in essence you want to have multiple users but you don't want to give the users system accounts. For userbase https://blog.corrupted.io/2014/06/09/OpenSMTPD-virtual-users-with-sqlite.html is an example of what I have done at my own mail site. It has 4 users in it with a ton of aliases (that probably should be virtuals but I wont nitpick on that right now)
