I never argued that this didn't work, tried it, and it did. That wasn't
the question either. Its more of a control issue that it makes me nervous
a user can create addition email addresses for themselves. The only way
administratively to handle this as far as I can tell is maybe do night
searches for .qmail files or something kludgy. Its also not an option for
the users to have their mail on another host. Its just hard to believe I'm
the only person that has ever thought this way and figured there was a
patch to modify the behavior is all. Seems pretty straight forward for a
mail to just mail to users and not allow the users to add variations of
their email address is all.
Thanks for your help.
