Subject:   best way to alias an email address to a filename

What is the best way to alias an email address directly to a filename? 
I have tried:

tester1:  /usr/local/htdocs/tester1.txt

But I get an error from sendmail stating that it cannot open output 
file. If I chmod that file to 666, then it works fine. Seeing as how 
I'd rather NOT leave a file chmod'd 666 sitting on a publically 
accessable webserver, any ideas how else I should be going about this? 
Perhaps some sort of pipe to the cat command? Or could this be fixed 
using a simple ownership/permissions change?
