According to the main.cf information in the problem report, local_recipient_maps=$alias_maps and all those maps are local files, so that would exclude the usual nsswitch foul-ups. There are no confirmed reports on this list that Postfix "forgets" users in local alias database files. For this reason I will assume with confidence that you have some buggy database library. Postfix uses the same system library routines to access alias_maps in the smtpd(8) and local(8) programs. If smtpd(8) finds users that local(8) does not find, then I suggest that you consider using a more robust database implementation. Wietse
