I have been working on converting my vpopmail system to dbmail.  The
only problem I have had so far is that I cannot add an alias to point
to another alias on the same system.  You may ask yourself, why would
I want to do that?  There are a few reasons.  Here is one.

I work at a call center.  We have high employee turn around.  So when
an employee leaves, I delete their account and then create an alias
with the same name that points to the department manager.  Our
department managers also come and go or are out sick, so I have an
alias pointing to them so I can easily redirect their mail.

So mail from (Xemployee1)-goes to->(deptmanager)->realuseraccount
Each of the above entries in () is an alias.

This makes management very easy.  According to the database schema, an
alias points to a user_idnr, which means that it needs to be a real
user to work.  Is there anyway around this within dbmail?

Thanks,

Matt
