Since our users add/remove/change all te time, somesort of wildcard would be really nice. Maybe I'm missing something. But does not every user get a mailbox of the form <username>@<hostname>? So what alias? Is it is some special name then how can you expect a script to know it? If it's about some virtual domain, than try @<virtdomain> %1@<hostname> or something likewise.
