That is where I put it, yes.

See the documentation.  There is a SQL query that does the mapping.  If you
have setup the table properly, you should have an entry that looks like:

user | domain.com | 0000-user

You are responsible for adding 0000-user to your user repository, yourself.
Personally, I do all of that using SQL.  I only use the RemoteManager for
one thing ...

See the documentation for the RemoteManager.  For example:

$ telnet localhost 4555
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.

The same ones that they always server.  Configuring the handlers.

See the <processor name="error"> section.  You probably have the
ToRepository mailet configured to use a file store.  Actually, that's fine.
So do I.  I keep errors and spam in the file system, and only real messages
in the database.  That is partially because we use real-time replication
with our database servers, and there is no point in backing up spam.
