With postfix it's always the simple solution. I should have seen that. Reversing the order works now - and is in fact the more correct approach. Thanks!

I've had another look and I still don't get it. Except that $maps can't be expanded by the shell. I feel sure there should be a way to check not just a single file (as I did), but the actual entry from main.cf - but I'm not able to find it. Sorry. Simon
