Thanks Roman.
Your solution works fine.

We just added the following entry 
at the end of the virtusertable:

@virtsite1.net	%1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

No user is created in the virtsite1.
There is no other line about virtsite1 in
the virtusertable.

And it's fine !
All mail sent to anyone@xxxxxxxxxxxxx is
forwarded to the Lotus server of our client.


Many thanks.
