Yeah, that's the situation I was hoping to avoid by way of the sequence of
logic. So what do we do with this:
dbmail_users (id, user):
1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
2 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
dbmail_aliases (alias, deliver-to):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2
That is to say, we're trying to get all mail to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to land in
the INBOX of '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. What happens:
Currently:
Mail for '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' goes to user 1.
Aaron's Proposal:
Mail for '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' goes to user 2.
Thomas' Proposal:
Mail for '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' goes to user 2 and user 1.
I'm inclined to say that the question in this case is about what we *want*
to have happen. I can't think of any other demonstation cases / corner
cases right now, but let's keep the thinking caps on before doing anything
on this.
