would it be easer to admin if you used the /etc/aliases file
# forward till 21st
fred: [EMAIL PROTECTED], fred
# forward till told otherwise
john: john@@somewhere.else.com, john
as you have to do all the admin you need only to look in one place to keep
it up-to-date or even use a script to remove the forwarding when they are
back.
