I'm migrating a mail relay from sendmail.

The sendmail version has a feature where former employee
mailboxes can return a hard error with a suggestion for
somebody else to contact.

How do I do that with qmail?

Example from the sendmail aliases file:
torben.fjerdingstad:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

That means that mail to the user torben.fjerdingstad returns
an error message saying:
User has moved; please try [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Thoughts:

When I convert the aliases file to dot-qmail files, the
content of .qmail-torben:fjerdingstad gets
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Then I could create .qmail-bigboss:redirect with the content
|bouncesaying "User has moved; please try $ALT-RECIPIENT" exit 0

ALT-RECIPIENT should in this case be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
but I don't know how to get that right in a simple way.
