Woo-hoo to self-replying.. Anyway, if anyone else wishes to perform such silliness, here's what I came up with to accomplish my goal.

There aren't really wildcards in /etc/aliases (that I could find), but according to the aliases manpage: "...When alias database search fails, and the recipient localpart contains the optional recipient delimiter (e.g., user+foo), the search is repeated for the unextended address (e.g., user)."

So, I changed my scheme to "unsub+nnnn" and aliased "unsub", with positive results.

Hi Gang!
Can anyone tell me if wildcards are possible in /etc/aliases? Or a better way to achieve [EMAIL PROTECTED] being a valid recipient, where nnnn is a number of one to six digits. Without having to completely re-roll my mail setup (sendmail on FC3)...

Cheers,
~Brian
