Qmail and vpopmail is the easiest and simplest for virtual domains, its 
not messy cluttered with alias files and whatever else, and they work hand 
in hand together, no adding it to several places, simply use vadddomain 
blah.com  then  vadduser blah at blah.com and it just works, handles millions 
of users per domain and millions of domains :)

I'm a complete sendmail fan, and even thuogh I despise qmail for needing 
to be patched for moderness, this is where qmail wins out over 
anything in existance.

I am aware that someone might be about to take up on qmail2 ( modern 
version ) since its original author has abandoned it.
Qmail is also probably the second most comon MTA.
