I was under the impression that the system in question was a
multi-tenant system in which some customers wanted delivery to a
single mailbox. And others wanted normal delivery.
Even simpler than REDIRECT or BCC with discard is virtual alias
rewriting:
virtual:
# Entire domain perhaps?
@example.com [email protected]
# Or recipients one at a time:
[email protected] [email protected]
[email protected] [email protected]
...
The key question is whether the input criterion is who the mail is
going to, or who the mail is coming from. If suppression of delivery
is for mail *from* particular senders, then REDIRECT is the (only)
way to go.
If you just want to reroute mail *to* particular recipients just
use virtual(5) aliases.
