Re: Large scale Postfix/Cyrus email system for 100,000+ users

You want to set up a custom transport table: 

   TRANSPORT(5) 

   The optional transport(5) table specifies a mapping from email 
   addresses to message delivery transports and next-hop hosts. 
   ... 
   This mapping overrides the default transport:nexthop selection that is 
   built into Postfix: 
   ... 
       virtual_transport (default: virtual:) 
         This is the default for final delivery to domains listed with 
         virtual_mailbox_domains. The default nexthop destination is the 
         recipient domain. 
   ... 

   Normally, the transport(5) table is specified as a text file that 
   serves as input to the postmap(1) command. 

But you can substitute a configuration file that specifies a MySQL 
query. See the man page for more info on the types of searches 
transport(5) runs against your database, how to employ wildcards, and 
what it expects to get back.
