mail redirect in aliases or virtualusertable?

Yes, it is Sendmail.

Correct. Sorry for the typo.

That makes sense. So to restate then, the difference between the two  
is that…

1.	entries in /etc/aliases will apply to all domains on the system
	since the entry on the left is just a username (and not a
	complete email address), whereas entries in /etc/mail/virtusertable
	are complete email address

2.	you can direct the mail sent into a script via a pipe in /etc/aliases


…correct?
