In 1.2.1, there's a mailet called "TownAlias" that uses a database table to
do the aliasing. For the next release expected soon, there will be a new
JDBCAlias (to remove the dependency on the Town database library), and a
simple FileAlias, to read a text file of multiple aliases.
As for sending mail from a command line, you'd want to use the JavaMail API
to do this... it wouldn't be very hard to write a command line program that
sends locally (by default), and takes stdin as the message. If you want to
contribute that, this might make it easier to have James replace sendmail.
Just out of curiosity, why do you want to replace sendmail with James? (let
me know offline if you'd prefer)
