New to MailScanner

[Alex Neuman]

I've gone the milter-ahead route myself a couple of times; don't know
if/how it applies to Postfix. I did find this through Google:

http://acidx.net/wordpress/2014/06/installing-a-mailserver-with-postfix-dovecot-sasl-ldap-roundcube/

In section 6 it describes how Postfix can check LDAP for valid recipients,
if I interpret it correctly.

Just a brain shart.
