My only concern would be performance.  Yes, I know it caches (as does exim) but with the
huge amount of dictionary attacks that many of us see each day it might be a problem
performance wise.  We currently do LDAP lookups which work OK, but it has some downsides
related to domain aliases on our primary mailhost.
