thanks jeff,
     that did the trick. was wondering though...how would one know that if
it isn't in the documentation? i don't really know postfix all that
well...so i am at a disadvantage there. also, how could setting that
local_recipient_maps affect other users?

my system is a shared production/test system. i know that is bad practice,
but its all i have to work with. so my users are straight
postfix/courier-imap users with maildir while i am testing dbmail and have
to use the same postfix as i use in production. just thought i would clear
up where i am coming from here.

thanks,
shon
