IIRC such quotes are not required by RFC (2)822, so not be used with
table lookups once the address is normalized. The OP really does need
bare "#mumble" keys in his tables, and cannot use postmap to build these.

There is no "\#muble ..." syntax for postmap(1) input files to allow
a leading "#" in a lookup key. Such tables must be built by other
means (Perl's Berkeley DB library for the same DB version, ...)

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.
