We are not speaking here about a bug, or an error, but a different way to see/use a feature.
I think the alias/forward section was unclear and confusing. By replacing Maildir delivery aliases with forwards only, we simplified the interface for what 99% of the users want.
That said, I am open to proposed interface ideas that would allow a user to specify that the forwarded mail should bypass the user's .qmail file (if any). I personally don't like it, but if it fits into the interface (and someone else submits a patch, and others want it) I'll include it.
I think you should not say "avoid processing", but put a comment like:
Check here if you want these alias to be worked as the "real users", using his autoresponder, anti-spam, etc, features. Be sure that doing this, you're likely revealing to the sender who's the real user under the alias.
[I imagine that, with this kind of alias, a message to an alias "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" will receive an autoanswer from the real user "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"]. Or do I have to create a mailing list for each alias in order to avoid that?
