Hi Jeroen,

When I added the line to my aliases file, and tried to send a message to
the account with Thunderbird, the message that I added to my aliases
file was displayed in Thunderbird, but the message was not queued for
delivery on the mail server. I'd be fine if the sending user got a
message that their message was queued for delivery. Is this the correct
behaviour? or am I misunderstanding?

Jason.
