ok so i have that working with the mysql db. I'll eventually create a separate db with just one table.
I'm using a kludge from here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4772229/configure-mail-server-to-receive-mail-from-any-domain to get around specifying the domain: virtual_mailbox_domains = pcre:/etc/postfix/virtual_domains.pcre ... this postfix is great!!!! lol. the man pages are really intimidating though. lol.
