I was pointed to 'map chains' as a possible solution for a
*need/desire* of recursive addresses validation - or more correctly a
rewrite and then validate (first.lastname> flastname => check LDAP)

I only seem to find reference to 'map chains' as a request for
considersation and some higher level discussion. Had this ever moved
past the drawing board??

Along those same lines, I understand (now) that address validation
during the SMTP conversation is not recursive. Seeing how many of the
rewrite threads always clearly point out 'do not use wildcards' - and
I completely understand why - is there a higher level reason as to why
wildcard matches during address validation don't recursively get
verified (similiar to sending) - or any rewrite for that matter?

therefore, address gets a rewrote, that then gets validated/rewrote
again -- granted there are the scenarios of a circular rewrite, but
that is the case on sending/rewrite as well - and Postfix catches and
logs those appropriately.

Just a thought - seeing how 'wildcards' are always warned against.

Thanks
