Is it really that complicated to get the forwarding alias from a program?
I'm thinking---at the moment when qmail is reading the .qmail-default
file, it can encounter:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
At this point, it has the capability of specifying a local or remote
e-mail address to forward the message to. Doesn't it?
So it should also be able to easily run an external program at this point
to determine the e-mail address to forward to.
I am not familiar with the internals of qmail, but from what I have seen,
this would make sense.
