Tara, your approach would have a real address used as the postmaster for bounces etc
coming out from your server. IMO it's better to define <postmaster>[EMAIL
PROTECTED]</postmaster> and use one of the following approaches:
1) Create a "postmaster" account/password using remote manager (adduser) and either
access it directly using pop3 or define an alias for it (setalias postmaster aname).
2) An alternative approach (the one I use) is to *not* define any postmaster
account/password using remote manager but instead to code in the right place:
<mailet match="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" class="Resend">
<recipients>
[EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED],
...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
</recipients>
<to>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</to>
<prefix>[to postmaster]</prefix>
</mailet>
Approach 2) allows for having more than one physical person acting as a postmaster.
Note: "Resend" is available only in 2.2.n; use instead Redirect in 2.1.n.
