It's not an issue of where it thinks the user mailbox is, it's the fact
that postfix is not able to complete the processing of the mail,
therefore it's dropped in the deferred directory.  What I need to be
able to do is to make it understand that mail to
USERID at AUTHSERVER.home.edu should go to USERID at tachyon.home.edu.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I've actually been to the postfix site, but
have not found the answer to my problem.
