Hello Brian, Why can't you have dbmail do both local and remote delivery? I'm doing it all the time with a VERY early version... Postfix hands the message over to dbmail, dbmail expands the alias, and delivers it to each recipient. Any non-local addresses are handed over to Postfix to deal with.
While I haven't looked at the code for this in a LONG time, I believe dbmail recurses through each expanded address, and any that don't result in a numeric mailbox are sent on their way back to internet. I have several mail lists that have dozens or hundreds of addresses, most non-local, so I know it works...
