Put them at the bottom of virtusertable:

bob@xxxxxxxxxx	bob@xxxxxxxxx

That's a tab between the two entries, not spaces.

When done, do:

# makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable < /etc/mail/virtusertable

That's it.  We're doing it for a lot of users of an ISP that went out of
business, to forward their email to their new ISP.
