I was thinking the same thing. But instead of a big patch to the qmailadmin
code, i figured it would be just as easy to modify the templates to make it
seem more clear that aliases aren't *gone*, but just now combined with
forwards.
Attached is my patch to 3 files in qmailadmin's html/ directory (thus no
recompiling required). It adds the old 'alias" dropdown to the 'add new
forward' and 'modify forward' pages and uses javascript to fill the text box
based on what the user selects (the dropdown has no name=, so it won't be
submitted with the form).
This may be better done by patching the C code so that both are submitted and
one takes precedence over the other, but, whatever.
The users who don't have javascript enabled will complain about the dropdown
not working. You should complain back about how dumb it is to not have
javascript enabled in this day and age.
I also changed a bunch of the lines in 'en' to say Forward/Alias instead of
just Forward.
