Are you sure you aren't a little confused? I meant the dot-forward add-on
package that uses a literal .forward file in the user's home.
If this package doesn't work, the only other idea I personally would have
would be to setup up the alias to forward to two different accounts: a
different mail spool for the user (under a different but probably similar)
username, and the other to the list or whatever.
Hopes this helps
Brett.
