no, because forwarding to outside domains is handled in two steps, map
from alias to username via virtusertable, followed by map from username to
externam address vis aliases, if you don't have a real username inbetween
, sendmail will get upset (they way it's configured on the raq's) , you
could i suppose reconfigure it ;) You should perhaps first ponder what
would happen if the mail was undeliverable to the forward address
tho...given that forwarding isn't instantanous ;)
