Hey, you can't have everything.  I thought he specifically said he
could/would do it from telnet.

Easy, my pseudo-users for forwards are named something like
joe-domain-com in virtusertable and then joe-domain-com points to
joe@xxxxxxxxxx in aliases.local.

I thought that's what I did in my post <smile>.

Please direct me to some articles on virtualization with sendmail/qpop,
if you know of any; I'm trying to convince the author of Mailtraq (the
W2k email server I market) to add full virtualization; if I can show him
articles showing that freeware solutions are doing it maybe he'll move
it up on his priority list.

They shouldn't end up in user mailboxes unless the username was forged
in the spam, or the user was somehow connected with the spam.  They
should go to root, which usually ends up being forwarded to you.
