My RaQ4 uses procmail.  So the first one, above, has already been done
by the friendly folk at Sun/Cobalt <smile>.

You MUST have the alias in your virtusertable file and that must be a
tab between the two columns.  Be sure to add it at the bottom, where'
it's okay to add local additions.

Then be sure to has the file:

# makemap hash virtusertable < virtusertable

This is the last step.

Because the error condition (:0fE) is to use "UNKNOWN".  So you're not
getting anything in the variable $1.

If it still doesn't work after you've verified you've done all the above
(and it may not; I've not tried it nor researched if (for example)
jeff+bill goes to the jeff email box or not or if the information after
the "+" is what ends up in the $1 variable), I'd try a sendmail mailing
list for more definitive information.

There's a good mailing-list for mailserver help at
listar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx  Send "subscribe mailhelp" in the subject line to
subscribe.
