Local addresses are handled by directors, so in the directors section
you set up a rule specifying to do this. The documentation section on
these, and the Q04xx section of the FAQ, are excellent sources on
information.
How you do this depends on the type of 'database' that you mean. Is it
a traditional flat-file forwarding database? If so, something like:
our_fan_out:
driver = aliasfile
domains = pcfe.co.uk
file = /etc/mail/aliases
search_type = lsearch
There are various traditional small db formats supported (gdbm, et al)
and also MySQL support. Check the compile-time options which you used.
