What about an LDAP-database, which Postfix2 (for example) uses to sort out
if mail should be stored locally or where to send the mail.

let's say you have in LDAP:
mail=email at addy
mailHost=some-mail-server-name

you'd have 2 lookup's, one to see if it should be delivered locally:
(&(mailHost=this-server-name)(mail=email at addy))

and an other if it should be relayed:
(&(!(mailHost=this-server-name))(mail=email at addy))

OK, this was not tested, but just an idea.

(although I'm not quiet sure which postfix-maps that should be... I'd
have to check the documentation)
