Sorry, I thought I had re-enabled delivery, but I had not. So trying to reply
to Rowland Penny here:

I upgraded from 7.7. And yes since we've had samba >= 4.8.0 for a while now
we've been running winbind.
This configuration (dropping the username map script hack) seems to be working
for us, does this seem correct?
idmap config * : backend = tdb
idmap config * : range = 1000000-1999999
idmap config DOMAIN : backend = nss
idmap config DOMAIN : range = 1000-999999
winbind scan trusted domains = no
