Hello!

My server is going to receive emails that look lke this:

vy-anon(anumber)@mydomain.com

where (number) is a timestamp.  I do not know what the number will
be since it is generated on-the-fly.  However, all such emails
will be processed by the same facility.

Reading the man pages (shock!) I found that there is a facility for
this very thing - you add a config line to users/assign file then
run newu.  Here is my config line:

+vy-anon:fred:1000:100:/usr/local/myapp:::

My problem is that I can't deduce what the .qmail file is supposed
to be called.  Everything works fine if I put .qmail-default in
/usr/local/myapp.  But I don't want a default file - I want a config
file that is explicitly associated with vy-anon.

The documentation spells it out fairly well for simple conversions
but I am confused by the sentence pertaining to wildcards. Here is
a portion of the man page:

|WILDCARD ASSIGNMENTS
|       A wildcard assignment is a line of the form
|
|          +loc:user:uid:gid:homedir:dash:pre:
|


The crux is this "pre" value.  What is this!?  In the example above, what
should
the .qmail file be called?

Thanks,
Tony
