[10] CAN I ASSIGN ALIASES TO FORWARD TO MY MAIN ADDRESS?
|
|
|
|
In a way, yes. Basically the delimiter to use is '+'. You can then
|
|
use procmail (ARPA) to parse the To: header and route the email to
|
|
a file, software or another address. By default, all email addressed
|
|
this way will end up in your $MAIL file.
|
|
|
|
Example: Userid is 'joe', email address is 'joe@sdf.org'
|
|
Aliases could be 'joe+private@sdf.org' or
|
|
'joe+usenet@sdf.org' or
|
|
'joe+mlist@sdf.org'
|
|
|
|
While the '+' is documented in the SMTP standard, some html based
|
|
mailing lists may barf on it and render it useless.
|
|
|
|
All MetaARPA members who use 'setvmail' to toggle on/off the various
|
|
'domains' available at SDF may also use this aliasing technique.
