This functionality was not added into qmail as a default due to reasons I'm not familiar with. qmail in its natural state is a pretty minimal MTA, but it's also secure, which is something sendmail can't boast. qmail does have the fastforward addon which enables the use of /etc/aliases. However, /etc/aliases (and its companion, /etc/virtuserable) is pretty redundant when compared to the 'dot-qmail' files that are the natural qmail redirection files. I'm curious how many of the 'sendmail-isms' are supported by postfix. --CAE Kujikenaikara! Sub caelo noctis sto quod stellae mihi spem dant. "Just a whisper.
