On a different note: I've ported Jesse Norell's usermap patch for dbmail-1.2 to dbmail-trunk.
This will allow dbmail managers to assign different usernames to users than the one in the dbmail_users table. It won't solve the issue at hand, though. For that the usermap framework would need to be extended to take into account additional information such as the IP address of the client and/or the server, portnumbers, etc...
