DNS lookups happen in rule set 96 which is part of rule
set 3 (Name canonicalization). I'm not sure, but I imagine
that virtusertable isn't looked up until rule set 0 (mailer
selection).

Try using a valid domain name on the LHS of the table
entries. It's not likely that you want to accept invalid
domain names anyway, is it?

Even with invalid DNS domains, the DNS lookup should
fail and the address will be left as-is. It just might take a while
for the DNS lookup to complete. Be patient.

Are you using -bt to try this stuff out?
