valias - add/modify/delete alias for virtual users
valias [options] [alias | address | domain_name]
valias adds valias entries for virtual users in the table valias. valias entries are equivalent to .qmail files. valias is useful in cases where large number of forwarding/aliases are to be maintained and having numerous physical files on the file system could prove to be cumbersome/inefficient or impossible (i.e. > 32768 on some filesystems).
