Just to be clear, I'm totally in agreement with Paul in that this is a very slippery slope. I made my changes with the full knowledge that later I expect someone to point, laugh and it to become a Vonage ad.
If you refuse to modify Postfix and let dbmail-lmtpd dictate if the account exists you will have a problem that I have/had. You would have to configure Postfix to accept anything for @.domain.com. You will now have a pile of Spam for non-existant users coming in for all sub-domains and the main domain. When dbmail-lmtpd can't deliver, it's going to bounce and sit in your deferred queue until expires since it won't be able to send the response to sender. Unless Paul knows something I don't about delivery, you have to modify the userid or alias select query for the final destination to fit this schema you want. A second suggestion might be to configure postfix to do the query and rewrite the destination address based on a separate table. dbmail-tables userid ---------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] postfix-rewrite domain ------------ example.com If email for [EMAIL PROTECTED] comes in and postfix matches example.com, postfix then rewrites local delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] At this point there is no modification required to dbmail. The only problem is that recipient doesn't know it was sent to sub-domain. -- David A.

I'd like to have as little as posible configuration tables. Since our frontend is sendmail I can do the rewrite stuff there, but only if I must.
