Re[2]: Postfix with IMAP

Jeff, referencing a table in the database sounds like
a great idea.  I will give that a try.  I am using
Postgres so I will probably need to do a bit of
recompiling.

When you refer to the local user mapping, are you
talking about this entry:

local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps unix:passwd.byname

Thanks,
David
