If one maintains a database of emails in /etc/passwd how can Postfix be configured to forward email to those?

I don't know if /etc/passwd can be used by postfix, but I'm not ruling it out. I'd say /etc/aliases is used. Also ~username/.forward might work too. – becomingwisest May 10 '11 at 9:02

In the default configuration Postfix is already configured to deliver mails to all accounts in /etc/passwd and all aliases in /etc/aliases: http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#local_recipient_maps

Otherwise you can set the local_recipient_maps to the default value.
