I use this method, and have no problems on CentOS-3.4 and CentOS-4.0 on
several installs.
But, there is a new way to setup PostFix that doesn't require 2
instances of it running.
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/postfix.shtml
I have not yet done the installation using that method, but I will try
to do so soon and if it works correctly, update the howto.

This does basic virtual mailboxes
http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html#virtual_mailbox
I would like to do this via a form and to a MYSQL database ... if I have
time:
http://www.postfix.org/MYSQL_README.html
(but the version of postfix produced by RHEL {and thus CentOS} does not
have MySQL support ... so the postfix package would have to be re-done
as a contrib package)
I want to do this to my main server ... but I am not sure when I will
have time to install and test it.
