It's local because it stores e-mails somewhere in the local filesystem hierarchy, instead of sending it to a remote machine via SMTP (or any other protocol). I don't know postfix a lot, but I wonder why it needs two LDAs, one for real users and one for virtual ones, when the only conceptual difference should be where to store e-mails and where to lookup information on the existence of the user and his mail spool directory. -- A lost ounce of gold may be found, a lost moment of time never.
