I see what you are saying, however I was under the impression that we
were just aliasing mail 'to' people, and not giving two yanks on where
it came -from- which is what you are implying.

setting up an email alias is not going to work in this case. here's my
example, i have 3+ users darin at nflug.org, slick at nflug.org, and
wiseguy at adelphia.com. 

wiseguy at adelphia.com is sending email to slick at nflug.org, i want to
intercept all email From: wiseguy at adelphia.com and push it over to
darin at nflug.org.

aliases and virtuserstable will not work because they look at who the
message it being delivered To: and map that name to the actual user,
address, or alias.
