This feature examines  the addresses that aliases and mailboxes deliver to
and will mark them as "undeliverable" if they are sent to destinations not
on your postfix server (ie, not found in the database).  In the case where
MOST of the aliases ans mailboxes should be delivered locally, it can help
you find errors such as typos or an alias that delivers to a deleted
account.

It is designed to help mail admins to easily see the status of accounts
while browsing through multiple pages of aliases and mailboxes, but it will
only be helpful where 99% of mail is delivered to local postfix accounts and
a handful of other destinations.  If a high percentage of mail is delivered
to places like yahoo.com, hotmail.com, gmail.com, or other mail systems, all
those domains will be marked as undeliverable or they  have to be added to
the exceptions list so they are not flagged.

- what is show_undeliverable_exceptions?


There may be some delivery destinations that  do not appear in your
database, but are valid destinations for your situation.  The code will only
look for the domains specified in show_undeliverable_exceptions, as it
cannot verify the username at that domain.  For example, our postfix server
delivers many mailboxes to a MS exchange server.   The exchange server is
called exchange.ourdomain.com and we deliver mailboxes to
us...@ex....  I added exchange.ourdomain.com to the
exceptions list so those accounts aren't flagged as undeliverable.

show_custom_count is the size of the show_custom_domains array.
show_custom_domains contains domain names like the
exchange.ourdomain.comexample above.  The result is that I can easily
identify exchange accounts
when browsing through mailboxes.


The undeliverable, POP/IMAP, and custom statuses can be individually
enabled/disabled.  Maybe only one or two of them make sense for your
situation and the others can be set to "NO"
