I can see the need for this functionality, and thanks for producing a patch rather than just an idea.... It seems to be hard-wired to local system users who have home directories to drop files in - while I'm sure that fits with your needs, shouldn't a generalised implementation play better with other ways of specifying valid recipients? Perhaps an extension to the redirect router?
