- Typical mail systems are configured to work on usernames or virtual usernames.
UIDs/GIDs are only needed at the final moment when delivering mails to user
inboxes that need to have proper UID/GID set.
- This makes it easy for dovecot to simply use PAM authentication instead of
having to use LDAP.
- Trying to hide UID from email headers is no longer necessary. Received: header
is important for debugging mail delivery across the chain. Don't miss out.

- Use the IntergrityError exception instead of a complex query to ignore an
already existing alias.
- When retrieving existing aliases, use explicit list of columns instead of * so
that schema updates adding columns won't fail the code using the row results.
- Use terminology used by post fix. "name" for the name of the alias. "value"
for the mapping.

- Postfix has the ability to use sqlite3 databases directly. There is no need to
synchronize to a hash db and then use that.
- Store the aliases database in /var/lib/postfix/. This will make backup and
restore easier and remove dependence on FreedomBox and its data directory.

If the domain part was not provided, $myhostname will be used.
In case $myhostname is not in $mydestinations, the email will be relayed.
In case $myhostname is invalid, the email will be bounced.
The next hop should always be LMTP (local: transport)
and hence the `@localhost`
