Use of nss_ldap, nss_nis, ... on mail servers performing local(8)
delivery is inadvisable, avoid at all costs (dump the user list) to
/etc/passwd or "db" periodically, ... If nss_ldap, ... must be used,
provide enough replica servers and sufficiently robust networking to
make lookup failure extremely improbable. Consider "-o soft_bounce=yes"
in the local delivery agent if other failures can be reasonably
ruled out, and monitoring is added to move messages that repeatedly
into the incoming queue of a second instance without soft_bounce...
or other gross hacks...
