Understood. I just wanted to point out the philosophical
differences from the postfix perspective, and thought that it was
important that this be made explicit.

No, 20001005 is the latest snapshot I know of, and appears to be
what Wietse is running himself:
$ telnet spike.porcupine.org. 25
Trying 168.100.189.2...
Connected to spike.porcupine.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 spike.porcupine.org ESMTP Postfix (Snapshot-20001005)
quit
221 Bye
Connection closed by foreign host.
However, I would not be too surprised if what he was running is
actually slightly later than this (i.e., another snapshot in
progress), and it just identifies itself as Snapshot-20001005.

The machines where I run this code don't strictly need a MySQL
interface for aliases. Although we do keep our internal aliases in a
MySQL database, I do not believe that it is in a format that would be
suitable for use with postfix, and therefore I'd have to create yet
another MySQL database that *was* in the proper format. This would
likely lead to synchronization problems, etc....
