Thanks.  I'm going to migrate aliases from flat file to ldap once the 
configuration is working. 

In related matters, I found the psotfix directives to check access file 
to do restriction based on who the mail is to.  using:
 smtpd_recipient_restrictions = check_recipient_access  
hash:/etc/postfix/access

as per docs.  ran postmap /etc/postfix/access to generate the hashed 
file  permissions are ok but telneting to the server I can connect but 
don't get a banner.

Any thoughts would be appriciated, in the meantime I'll be playing with 
syntax.

Cheers,
Ashley
