Virtual domains can mean that you want user@domain1 to
be the same as user@domain2 and user will have a login
on the machine.  Virtual users would normally mean that
user@domain1 is different from user@domain2 and they
may not have a real login at all - that is, they would
authenticate from a database or LDAP directory instead
of having a system password.  Both the MTA and POP/IMAP
servers have to be configured to use this alternate
mechanism.
