The issue is that you have Postfix pre-checking the addresses against the
database, and only if they exist does Postfix pass the message to DBMail
for delivery?

If that's the case, perhaps we can extend Postfix with the same address
and domain logic? I wonder if Wietse would choke on adding this... (is the
MySQL lookup part of stock Postfix as it is, or is it a patch anyways?)
