grr). 

The first check if for a domain catch-all at a particular
domain, and
then the checks begin looking for sub-domain catch-alls by
stripping off
one domain level each time, so usernamefoo.bar.baz.qux is looked up in
this order (wrt domain catch-alls, of course all other alias
checks also
take place):

alias              | deliver_to
-------------------|--------------
foo.bar.baz.qux   | [whatever goes here...]
.bar.baz.qux      |
.baz.qux          |
.qux
             |
