So, if I were to put my system_aliases before this director, would it work
without me needing to have a mapping of all the possible local_parts to a
uid?
To make sure I understand, if I put system_aliases first, it will cause
aliases that deliver to a program not to be scanned, I can live with that.
Aliases like this one:
marc: mmerlin
mmerlin: merlin
would cause local_part to become merlin, which is my login, and wouldn't
your transport then run with user being correctly set to merlin?
Thanks,
Marc
