Here's the easier version...
Take a look at the "TABLE SEARCH ORDER" in man 5 transport. Here's an example:
# main.cf
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transports
# /etc/postfix/transports
firstname.lastn...@example.com relay:lotus.notes.server:25
firstname1.lastna...@example.com relay:lotus.notes.server:25
firstname2.lastna...@example.com relay:lotus.notes.server:25
example.com relay:ocs.server:25
If you take the transport_maps solution, then you need to set up
a relay-recipient_maps table with the addresses of valid recipients,
as documented in
http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html#firewall
If you believe that Sendmail was able to guess the addresses of
your local users, then I can assure you that it can't.
More likely, Sendmail was accepting all kinds of garbage from the
Internet, and your Sendmail queue was full of MAILER-DAEMON messages
all around the clock.
We cannot make that same mistake with Postfix (if we did then you
might just as well have stayed with Sendmail).

Hi,
Thanks for all your responses it seems that this might explain the
issues we have had in the past whilst using sendmail, will look into
taking the LDAP lookup from the domino directory.
Thanks again.
