That doesn't help.  I _do_ have access and virtusertable,
and also userdb and alias file.  But milter-greylist comes
_before_ all of the valid user checking.

By the way, thanks to everybody else for explaining that
the problem cannot easily be solved.  So far the best
suggestion was given by Emmanuel, i.e. to use the milter-
rcpfilter.  However, the problem is that it has is own
configuration file of valid users, so I would have to
maintain users in multiple different places, which is
annoying and error-prone.

So, unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a good
solution for the problem.

Best regards
   Oliver
