Yes, exactly. In the database local users and remote redirects are in
separate tables. I created the aliases view using UNION and replaced
the /etc/aliases file with a pgsql query. The problem is that if there
is an @ character in the "redirected address" part, exim will not check
if it is a valid user name, rather it handles it as an email address (as
it should, generally). We use nsswitch + nss-pgsql and getpwnam() et al.
works fine using the same postgresql database.
