Topic: any easy way to allow alias mail@mydomain

[Soren Laursen]

I recently discovered that you cannot create an alias named "mail", because
e-smith automatically creates forwards for all "system accounts" (adm
to wwwpublic in /var/qmail/users/assign) to the admin account.

I would very much like to control interesting aliases such as "mail" and "www"
myself (ie., forward the mail to a non-admin account). Is there any easy
way to do this? I realize that you can create a custom template to avoid
populating /var/qmail/users/assign with the system accounts, but then you
also have to modify the pseudonym create procedure to allow these accounts etc.

Are there any good reason why e-smith creates these system account forwards
in the first place?
