I use curier as a smarthost (antivirus scanner) for two sites

senders?
I assume that, by "smarthost", you mean "mx server". One way that
you could do this would be to write a script which pulls all of the
valid users out of the two directories, and creates an alias file
mapping their email address to their destinations. You can then
configure the two domains as "hosteddomains". Unless you've
configured a catch-all, courier will, then, only accept mail for
addresses present in the alias file.
Thank you, Gordon, for idea.
But it has two problems:
1) synchronization of user lists -- if admin adds/deletes users from
lotus box, new users will be not recognized until synchronization and
no longer users will still be recognized...
So? Then the admin synchronizes after the add/delete, or you cron the
sync every five minutes, or however long is reasonable...
2) I will have to add something to the domain in the aliases I
create, as otherwise they will not be sent to the right host for
final delivery. I would like to avoid that extra part.
The additional "something" is an easy element to a fairly simple script.
