Well, that's what I meant by "besides using maildrop". Maildrop gives
you some flexibility to do other operations before forwarding, but if
all you want to do is send the mail along to another server, the end
result is exactly the same.

So instead of maintaining a single file of aliases, you maintain a bunch
of text files scattered across the server... Sounds like more trouble,
not less. Unless there is a need for other maildrop processing, I'd
rather maintain the aliases.
