Or another option...
Using SQL would allow you to have key-value, you can have different mail 
location per domain / user, and dovecot can talk to SQL over TCP or 
unix:socket. You wouldn't need to make a script, and when users are 
stored in SQL (if you are using postfix) postfix can talk to that same 
SQL table to know which users are valid for accepting email.
