(Originally accidentally sent privately.)
Sadly, there are two problems with this - first, while the idea of a
monolithic configuration file is fine in general, this is a specific
case where a separate file is indicated. Second, the innate address
rewriting is much more limited than PCRE. I'd have to do separate rules
for each of the service accounts, and for each domain in which jtrigg is
a valid recipient. (The server hosts multiple domains; for some my mail
username is jtrigg and for others it's blaise. Similarly, I have other
PCRE expressions for other users who are in more than one domain but not
all domains.)
Thanks,
