Howdy list, I appologize if this has been discussed previously, but I am wondering if anyone would mind if I wrote a patch to redefine qmailadmin's concept of an "alias"?
Currently, qmailadmin "aliases" create .qmail files that look like this: /usr/local/vpopmail/domains/trevarthan.int.wingnet.net/jesse/Maildir/ And qmailadmin .qmail "forwards" look like this: &[EMAIL PROTECTED] So, would anyone mind if I created a patch that uses the .qmail "forward" syntax for "aliases"? I have no problem with the alias GUI, and I don't plan to change it. What I do have problems with is qmailadmin's .qmail alias syntax. Using a direct "shortcut" to a maildir totally bypasses any other .qmail files that would normally effect mail flow. This generally causes problems and confusion among my users. My manager even went as far as to call the current implementation of qmailadmin "aliases" a BUG. I know it's not a bug. I'm just wondering if other people have the same problems I have and share the same frustration and would welcome such a patch, or if a patch to correct this problem would be laughed off the list.
