A while back we did a custom piece of software that acted as a program
alias and would accept all mail addressed to non-existant accounts, and
would send back a "bounce" message, but would suggest likely
alternatives. For example, if it was addressed to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", it
might suggest "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" (if that was a valid account). It used the
Soundex algorithm (which matches similar-sounding-names), and a few extra
things such as looking for a missing "." (for
[EMAIL PROTECTED] type addressing).
