But how do you propose to check aliases or forwards? They are valid
mailboxes as well, it wouldn't be wise to deny receipt to these boxes.
Aliases are very popular.
When vpopmail uses mysql, there are no .qmail-* files for aliases, they are
all kept in the mysql database.
I don't know of a command line util that shows aliases for users besides
valias -s [EMAIL PROTECTED] but this does not seem to work for me with
vpopmail-mysql.
