I may be wrong, but in 1.x at least, dbmail doesn't deliver back out when an alias is an address (as opposed to a user_idnr). It keeps recursing the address until it gets a user_idnr. If it doesn't, _then_ it assumes it's an external delivery. Still, a direct user_idnr rather than a bunch of recursive alias addresses is more efficient, but not nearly as inefficient as you were describing it. Again, I may be wrong, but I'm about 99% certain last time I checked this is how it works, because that's how all of my aliases are: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> 1 (and watching mail logs, postfix only involves itself in the initial delivery to noc, not any subsequent lookups).
