I can see the need for this functionality, and thanks for producing a
patch rather than just an idea....
It seems to be hard-wired to local system users who have home
directories to drop files in - while I'm sure that fits with your
needs, shouldn't a generalised implementation play better with other
ways of specifying valid recipients? Perhaps an extension to the
redirect router?
