Postfix Users (and Outlook users)

[Peter Russell]

Yeah we grabbed the one from that gaptuning website and built it a lot 
of error checking - this means that if your ldap query fails for any 
reason your existing recipient map isnt overwritten with no content, 
mean you block all mail = not good :)

Also now send emails and stuff if it fails with error messages. AND it 
works for Lotus Domino. (easyt o work for any LDAP i reckon)

Thanks for all the other tips I will ciollate them and research them a 
little further and try and compile them into a useful document.
