If the user is a fictitious user, you can simply put a .forward file in their home directory (see smail(8), smail(5)). If the user has no home directory, you can place an entry in /etc/aliases (see aliases(4)). Many years ago, after all else failed to curb an abusive user, the rules in /etc/sendmail.cf (see smail(5)) were modified such that all his transmissions were redirected to censors. Shortly after that, his account was revoked for other reasons. Hopefully helpful, -- Robert Meier FANUC Robotics North America, Inc.
