[Novalug] Postfix Question

[matthew wollenweber]

Hello,

I'm writing a custom email service that needs to forward emails. The
forwarding rules change quite often. At present I have two strategies that
I'm considering:

   1. Connect to the mail server, grab the messages, and forward them.
   2. Update the postfix virtual table and let postfix do the work


With 1. I'm afraid I'll improperly parse a message and get all screwed up.
With 2, I have to do a lot of updates to the virtual table -- say once every
5 to 15 minutes. In that case, do I need to worry about postfix not being
able to read the file and missing/dropping emails?

Thanks for any help. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
