David, if you used a Sendmail server (possibly problematic, as it would add an extra layer in your mail delivery, you could write a very simple procmail recipe to do this. Probably the simplest solution would be to send [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and write in the first line in the email "This was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
I'm not weighing the merits of your plan, just whether it could be done. > -----Original Message----- > From: David Hekimian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 5:11 AM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: Single Use E-Mail? > > > I'd like to allow my users to create a single use e-mail > address to help > reduce unwanted e-mail. > > - User mailbox '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > > This user can create any new e-mail address by adding a suffix (with a > special char '-' for example) such as '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
