Virtusergen

This utility overcomes some limitations in Sendmail, namely in that it's not possible to directly forward addresses in virtual domains directly to multiple users or programs. Sure, one can forward to a local alias, but having to create the local alias is time consuming and prone to error. What's worse is if you have a program with the same name in a different directory, then you have to come up with unique names for the symlinks and change your alias definitions accordingly.

Aaahh!

So, I wrote virtusergen. It allows you to keep addresses for virtual domains in seperate files and to have addresses that forward directly to multiple users or programs. That stuff I mentioned above about local symlinks and programs is taken care of by this program, leaving your time free to get back to more important things.

This is written in Perl.
