Ok.

After looking at sendmail (see below), they seem to call this feature
"redirect". Seems to be more appropiate:
forward:
2. To send forward; to send toward the place of destination;
to transmit; as, to forward a letter.
[1913 Webster]
redirect:
v : channel into a new direction; "redirect your attention to
the danger from the fundamentalists" [syn: {airt}]
How about naming the plugin "redirect-local", and the file ~/.redirect ?

I don't think so. I still couldn't figure out what is 251 useful for. Also,
it would add more complexity to the user file. I like the current approach
because it's the same syntax as ~/.forward files (at least as those that only
have an email address).

Ugh. That's violating the standard... However, I just looked at sendmail
source and it seems to be supporting 551 properly. This probably just refers to
a plugin or something.
