That is similar to what I mention above.

I guess. Could you name a few more? Any suggestions are welcome :).

Well, you could store the list of possible recipient addresses alongside
the sieve script, no need to look them up that way. Or you could squirrel
away the  list of possible addresses coincident with the alias processing
the MTA does.

The latter is what we do, more or less.

What do you mean exactly by 'you could squirrel away the list of possible addresses'?

Regards,

Stephan.
