The only downside of this I see is that I use the alias table as a lookup table for postfix to accept/deny addresses at the smtp stage, which is much more efficient, I have a feeling that it would barf on a regexp address.
Actually, now that I think about it, would it handle a [EMAIL PROTECTED] style address? I'll dig around and see about this. I don't know anything about sendmail, that would be a valid question there if anyone uses similar function for that MTA. -Micah On Tuesday 19 October 2004 11:24 am, Blake Mitchell wrote: > Why not take this one step further, and go with full glob or regex > support?
