You can use postfix database format that is compiled into your version
of postfix.  Run 'postfix -m' to display what formats your system
supports.  See "man regex_table" for the format of the regex files.  I
would be careful about where in the file system your postfix server is
reading configuration data from.  I like to keep my config files in a
secure place, in a system directory.
