I would like procmail to use password files which are kept

After a little cogitation, this method presented itself as being
the most likely solution.
Premise: "virtual users" do not exist in isolation, but are created
and owned by real Unix users, who of course have normal
accounts and etc/passwd entries. Therefore, the uid, shell etc
of the Unix users will be entirely appropriate for their "virtual
users".
So I need to create a centralised file which maps domains
to their Unix owners, eg
domain1.com:user1
domain2.com:user2
and get Procmail to look up this table first, use the user found
there instead of the one normally used, and then look up
etc/passwd for this user and proceed normally from there on.
Any comments, criticisms, security holes?
