undoubtedly, you could use /etc/aliases to redirect incoming e-mail to specific mailboxes. This gets much more complicated when you use rules to reject mail that is addressed to an account that doesn't exist. I use postfix and reject all mail to accounts that don't exist but I use LDAP for user accounts and mail addresses and mail aliases (for aliases, I use an extra attribute called mailLocalAddress) thus I can have many mail addresses for delivery into a specific account which makes this rather simple. The implementation details would depend upon what you use for user account data, SMTP (ie sendmail/postfix), MDA (ie procmail/sieve) and mailstore(dovecot/uw-imapd/cyrus-imapd). -- Craig White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
