The user *should* do the work, whether the instructions are in the (proposed) ~/.redirect file or somewhere else (ours would be in MySQL, most likely). A good many users escape spam by Start new address Forward old address for a while until most correspondents have caught on Disable old address. Use new address much more carefully than before. For that pattern, of course, redirect is totally wrong. In our AccountManager, we would have to make the difference between forwarding and redirecting (in this sense) just as clear as the admin of a traditional system would. (99.9+% of our users have never been able to write into their home directories--some of the early ones--including me--were, in 1993 and early 1994, but that was when the connection to the world was a wired long distance connection on one of the company's 6 14.4 modems). --John -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
