- You *must* make use of the transport-level aliasing rather than the
- user-level aliasing for what you want to do. That means, on most BSD UNIX
- machines, using /etc/aliases. You can have the system manager have the alias
- point to a file in your home directory so that you have control over it,
- however. Transport-level (e.g., in the system aliases file) do not get
- expanded.
-
- An alternate is to put the user-level aliase in a bcc: line so that each
- user gets mail sent to him or her without a to: line at all.
