Sendmail uses a special syntax in /etc/mail/aliases to define which user aliases should actualy work as 551 redirections. The reason why I opted for the home dir dotfile is that this allows local users to set/unset/update their redirections without need for manual work by the admin. As you accurately guessed, the ~/.redirect interface fits with my needs, but I don't see why not supporting the Sendmail one as well. I can send a patch to support both if you like. > Perhaps an extension to the > redirect router?
