I'm used to driving everything from tables -- is that acceptable ?
None of my users (as opposed to sys admins) have passwd entries on the MTAs,
so it's all dbm-table driven -- this means that I have full control of which
accounts can receive email, and it means that exim knows which mailbox names
are valid without the need to (try to) access any remote F/Ss, so it (should)
be able to do all checking reliably, and treat any F/S error as soft.
