I've finally gotten around to updating my patches for this; you can grab
them at http://horde.net/~jwm/software/qmail/ [1].

Basically, there are two ways to do this; IP-based and non-IP-based.
IP-based requires an IP address per virtual domain. Non-IP-based doesn't
require the extra IP addresses, but requires your users to log in as
username%example.com.

% micro.de
% micro.net

% are included automagically?) 

I've got a patch for this coming soon (just need time to write docs for it &
release it). Basically, it rewrites the destination domain. For example, in
control/domainxlations:

example.net:example.com
example.org:example.com
foo.net:foo.com

Mail destined for example.net will be routed to the recipients for
example.com, etc. (transparently; no mailAlternateAddress or extra accounts
required).

[1] Please note the "license" included in the patches; it isn't mandatory,
but these kinds of things seem to be in perpetual demand on this list and
it'd be nice to see something small for my efforts.
