Local addresses? Remote addresses? What kind of failures? If a remote
host says "550 User Unknown" (for example) do you want to catch those?

You may be able to do something by setting errors_to on the aliasfile
director to get all the error messages sent to you. This isn't quite the
same thing, of course.
