Hi,

this is a well known solution but it never satisfacted me. With this
solution I need two files.
I heard about a feature in sendmail+ida named xaliases (this is a
anccient branch of sendmail, IFAIK). as far as I remember this file
looks like:

user       <> account@???
root1      <  postmaster@???
root2      <  postmaster@???
postmaster  > admin


< means "translate LHS to RHS in outgoing mails", > means
"translate RHS to LHS for incomming mails" and <> means do both.
With this feature one can do rewriting/aliasing very flexible, I think.
Would be nice to have a similar solution.
