No. You can edit the badusers entry in mmdftailor to look like this, though: MCHN badusers, show="baduser channel", ap=822, pgm=sendprog, mod=imm, tbl=local.chn, confstr="/usr/lib/mail/execmail some-address" This requires the progchan channel, which isn't distributed with the OS. You can get it here: ftp://ftp.armory.com/pub/admin/mmdf/progchan.tar.Z John -- John DuBois spcecdt@armory.com KC6QKZ/AE http://www.armory.com/~spcecdt/ |
