Unknown user again

[Julian Field]

There is a tweak on option (1). You can use the LDAP routing setup, without
*actually* using LDAP to build it. So you could have a script run from cron
that queried each of the servers somehow, and built a local db file of all
the valid addresses it should accept mail for. Then you use the LDAP
routing setup to use this local db file.
