Yes... if you could get the system administrator to allow you to
have an alternative aliases file that would be the only way I could see
getting around that... I have about 4 or 5 aliases files in my /etc/
directory... one for each domain I maintain, one for majordomo and then
the system aliases... If your system administrator would create a seperate
aliases file entry and place it under your UID/GID it would work... I'm
sure he would watch it like a hawk if he did allow it...

Thought to ponder : All a hacker needs is a tight PUSHJ, a loose pair
of UUOs, and a warm place to shift.
