Hello again, I'm finally getting around to trying this but the solution below assumes that there is a file in /var for the user's mailbox, with aliases this isn't the case (unless they're hiding elsewhere in which case if someone would point me to them I'd appreciate it). Anyway, where should I redirect the output to for an email alias? Thanks, Ben.
