Hmm. It seems that only "local" file-based databases (hash, btree,
regexp, pcre, etc.) are linked into the user commands, not the
higher-level databases that require access to the network.
This is certainly something that could be changed, but then it
means that
a) Postfix can't accept local submission when the network
is down (for example when the machine is booting).
b) EVERYONE on the system would have to be able to read
your *SQL etc. password.
This does not seem to be a desirable approach for the general case.
