Well, looking back I didn't explain myself well. I was thinking something
along the lines of the alias file mapping sales@foo.com -> realuser@foo.com
and sales@bar.com -> realuser@bar.com, all hosted on the same box. Does that
make more sense? I don't necessarily need to seperate realuser@foo from
mrealuser@bar.

Better spam protection is always good, performance less so (it's fairly low
