Well, that's not quite exactly what I wanted. I'm not even using the JDBCVirtualUSerTable. I'veo nly got a few users, so I don't feel the need to set up a database just for users.
So, I think I might try and tackle this one myself. I've only written one Mailet before (a bayesian spam filter), but it wasn't too difficult. What I'm uncertain of is how to do the wildcarding. I could stipulate a hyphen, but that is a bit bold. Ideally, I'd like to have it user-cusotmizable. Possibly, use a regular expression that can be specified in the configuration file? Unless I specify the ORO matcher, though, this would requite JDK 1.4 to get it's regex capabilities. Would that be unrealistic?

Hey Brian, I use the JDBCVirtualUserTable mailet which allows wildcard address of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED], but not [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, I still have a solution for you. What I do is when I give out addresses, I use their domain at my domain. Like when I sign up for amazon, I use [EMAIL PROTECTED] as my address, or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then I setup a wildcard address so they all go to me. Then if someone sells my email address, I just change the database so, for example, [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a mailet block in my transport section that matches anything to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and sends it to the Null mailet to kill it.
