with sendmail, if an entry like this:

   joe: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

is in /etc/aliases then any message sent to joe will be bounced back with 
a helpful note about joe's new email address.  this way you don't have to 
forward email to joe's new address for years after they leave.  eventually 
joe's correspondents learn to use joe's new address.  if i only forwarded 
joe's email, his correspondents would have no incentive to use his new 
address and i hate seeing mail to joe in the queue years after his 
departure. 

before i work on a script to do this with qmail i thought i'd ask if 
anyone has done this before.  i'd rather not re-invent the wheel.
