Forgive me for being ignorant. When I read

``The "instance" attribute value can be used to correlate different
  requests regarding the same message delivery ''

(http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_POLICY_README.html)

I interpreted this as a way to correlate
   mail from
   rcpt to
   rcpt to
   data
for the same message. This means I thought it would be possible
to store all recipients into the database.

If it does not mean what I thought it did, what does it mean?

thanks
