+# Each valid address user@example.org is aliased (on the MX) into some

+# the routing strategy to the trivial-rewrite(8), which in turns queries
+# transport_maps. Hence high latency maps such as LDAP or SQL would
+# congestion the queue manager. On the other hand, virtual aliasing is
+# performed by cleanup(8), multiples instances of which can run in
