    Bit unkind. The point is, surely, that if Postfix can't find a user in a
    mumble_user_table lookup map, it will report the user as non-existent.
    OP is asking for advice on solving one problem, and you're giving advice
    on something else :) nscd is a crappy piece of software that is unstable
    and frequently corrupts information. That's not Postfix's fault, but
    it's nevertheless OP's experience in this particular case.
