Here is what I do: On my gateway servers I have no valid user accounts (except admin accounts). I have a virtusertable file with entries like this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]       [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a perl script that updates the virtusertable file hourly from our SQL database, so it stays up to date. I've got over 3000 entries in the file right now and there's no noticeable slowness on the lookups. If you went this route you could have perl pull from SQL, LDAP, or whatever source you want.

The other advantage here is if your SQL or LDAP server goes down mail doesn't start bouncing, the virtusertable simply doesn't get updated until the server returns. This was a big deal for us, I didn't want a flaky LDAP server causing mail to bounce all over the place.
