I have already written the code that updates the access file and the
relay-domains file from the final delivery mail server so I think that to
create a virtusertable should be simple enough, I'll check the documentation
to see how to use the virtusertable in this manner - thanks for the pointer.

I'm not so sure that this is an acceptable overhead - the mail scanners
process 2,000,000 messages a day.

Thanks
