I would like users themselves to manage their aliases. Right now, I'm doing
this: I create a file in /var/qmail/alias:
.qmail-alias1
with this in it:
&user1-alias1
Then, the user has in his home directory:
.qmail-alias1
with this in it:
./Mailbox
(or whatever). The problem is that adding new aliases is a pain because
I have to do it (I'm the one who installed qmail).
I saw in the qmail mailing list archives discussion about making
/var/qmail/alias writeable (in some fashion) so users can add their own
aliases, but I couldn't see a resolution in the discussion whether this is
feasible or whether some users could end up eliminating other aliases
unintentionally.
Perhaps there is a software package to do this?
Thanks.
