I have a little system where by people can add entries to a mysql
database, with passwords and stuff. every 15 mins, a root crond job
comes along, rebuilds virtualdomains, rcpthosts and /etc/aliases and
reloads qmail, and thus, users change their forwarding settings.
(using the fastforward package of course)
as long as your cgi does enough syntax checking, your /etc/aliases
shouldn't get broken.
