Isn't what he's asking for just like the transport function in Postfix? I don't think he's actually asking for program aliases, just the ability to direct different mails to different places. It seems like that would fit under the general umbrella of proxy functionality.
I completely agree that ASSP should not actually shell to external programs based upon a received email. I'm surprised that IMail even allowed that. Evans Martin --- Evans L.

In my case they would trigger a program that starts a PC. Others may find different uses. This has nothing to do with security. It's just about diverting a small part of the incoming e-mail stream to a different IP address and/or port.
