     Nope, it's the other way round, I have a list of customers in a MySQL
    database
    which gets read into a flat file which is read by my bulk mailer
    program. The
    bulk mailer program directly connects BACK to postfix and talks SMTP
    direct to
    port 25.

     so I have an entry in aliases `customers: | /usr/local/bin/bulk_mailer'
    so
    that anything addressed to `customersdomain' gets passed to the bulk
    mailer
    and then re-posted using postfix again to everyone in the customer list.

     Or is there a better way to setup a bulk mailing alias under postfix?
