I want to send mail for an alias into a file thus:

/etc/aliases:
foo: /home/david/foo/foomail

but I get a permission problem with it. The mail bounces with a permission
denied message, even if I make /home/david/foo world writable.
If I send foo's mail to /tmp/foomail it works exactly as I would like it,
but creating a file owned by "nobody".

Is there anyway to give "david" ownership of /home/david/foo/foomail?

Also, is there a good write up anywhere on using pipe commands in
/etc/aliases? So far I haven't been able to make google work for me :(

I'm using Postfix.


thanks.. David.
