I have a routine that pulls addresses from all the aliases files defined in
the postfix main.cf file, and gets all non-admin accounts from /etc/passwd,
combining the two to get all valid user names. It then gets all the
domains from the postfix mydestination, combining the user names with these
domains to build a large virtual file for a border MX server that has no
users to allow it to validate incoming mail.
This have been working nicely for several years at an ISP with about 10,000
e-mail accounts. The border MX server does preliminary IP based anti-spam
and uses amavisd and clamav to scan for phishing and worms that attack the
Microsoft virus, Windows, but does no spam checking. It then sends
messages that pass amavisd to a cluster of servers that do spamassassin
checking, and delivery to NFS mounted Maildir stores.

Fair is the most dangerous word a politician utters. Whenever a government
does something for someone, it must do something to someone.
