You do not need to bother with SQL; hash files should be just fine. You should read http://www.postfix.org/VIRTUAL_README.html, specifically the section titled "Postfix virtual MAILBOX example: separate domains, non-UNIX accounts". After reading that document and experimenting yourself, ask for help here following the instructions in http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail. -- Sahil Tandon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
