Okay,

Just migrated our whole system (around 2000 email accounts) to dbmail. 
After starting up postfix it was obvious something was wrong, the queue
just kept growing and growing, but mail was slowly being delivered as
well.  

Well, upon further investigation, it was the good old dbmail-smtp signal
11'ing on bounces, and postfix requeuing the message...

This is with dbmail-smtp 1.0 downloaded a while back, but I also tried
it this morning when I realized what the problem was with a fresh
download off dbmail.org.

I did however find a solution around this problem.

I specified a local_recipients map on postfix mysql based that points to
the aliases table.

Now postfix will reject unknown users rather than dbmail.  So this stops
most of the bounces, the only ones left being over quota (quota disabled
for now until a fix is available) and suspended accounts.  (And yes, I
did not apply the account suspension patch to the fresh download from
this morning, and it was still doing it, so that eliminates the patch
from being the problem).

Its a production system, so I dunno how readily I'll be able to debug
it, but the problem still exists.  I'll try to setup a test machine to
reproduce the problem and debug from there.

Any help, please.
