Sorry,
    I really do appreciate your help, however I am a little confused here. I
have not defined every user twice. I have only defined the users once in the
UserDB which Postfix via. Maildrop and IMAPD share.

Is there a suitable solution without using SQL database (not that this
should be a problem) whereby I can keep forwarders for each domain in a
seperate file/folder - like Sendmail .forward files.

Thanks
