virtusertable entries can also route to a user. You put the local email address in the left column and a local user (or alias to a user) in the right column. You can also drop all non-specified mail with virtusertable catchall entries, e.g.: @mscis.org error:nouser User Unknown Or silently delete all non specified emails with a virtusertable entry and corresponding alias: virtusertable: @mscis.org devnull aliases: devnull: /dev/null > > 2. you can direct the mail sent into a script via a pipe in > /etc/aliases > > > …correct? Yes - I would venture a guess that you have at least one such pipe to make the uphpu mail list work. Often, though you would do something like this in virtusertable first: [EMAIL PROTECTED] domainlist and this in aliases: domainlist: | some.script Brandon Stout http://mscis.org /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
