  Competely bogus.  Zmailer supports aliases.  Zmailer has special 
security consisderations for .forward files, but you can override them so 
they work just like Sendmail.  Unless, you speak sendmail.cf as as a 
second-language, Zmailer will be easier to configure.

  However, Zmailer isn't without problems, but those certainly aren't 
them.  Main problem is some weirdness in the scheduler of versions 2.99.X 
that cause it to generate bogus error messages.  Either use 2.2e6, or 
2.99.14 with a scheduler from an earlier version.
