I was assuming you were to use verify_maps, but apparently
you're not 

If you can get your customer to provide you with a list of 
email-addresses (by running a script regularly or something.
Even

can import it 
with anohter scheduled/cron job) that would be fine and I
think you're set.

What's the difference between relay_recipient_maps and
verify_maps? And
