Yep, that's what I did. Copy, paste, and search and replace are great. I 
put in mappings from abuse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to the abuse alias (which 
goes to postmaster -> root -> me, I believe). Since the @domain.com 
entries just point to @host.domain.com, I didn't need to put both in, 
just @host.domain.tld.

Thanks,
