The alias domain should not be listed in the domain-table at all - only
in the alias table.

The problem (AIUI) was that a query for e.g. mydomain.com was producing:

path    mbox_name   domain.domain_name  alias.alias
foo     bar         mydomain.com        myalias.com
foo     bar         mydomain.com
foo     bar         mydomain.com        myotheralias.com

The contents of path and mbox_name are always there, and always correct,
they just sometimes appear more than once.  The limit 1 means that only
one will be returned.  Have I missed something?

I think the above is OK, but it's not exactly pretty.  I should have
also mentioned that the user query needs a limit 1:

user = ${lookup mysql{select unix_user from domain left join
domain_alias on domain_alias.domain_name = domain.domain_name where
domain.domain_name = '$domain' or domain_alias.alias = '$domain' limit
1}{$value}fail}

but I suspect you've already got that...
