And the mail may very well still bounce.  The alias name is NOT
dependent in any way on the MX record, or an ony other DNS record, once
the mail actually reaches the server.  The alias catchall ends up
changing /etc/virtusertable, and it MUST match the hostname for the
site, or mail will be bounced.
