[olug] Re: Email forwarding - is OLUG better than Google?

[Nate Rotschafer]

If it was me I would be looking to exim and mysql...mysql will scale much
better than flat files and with exim you can make any transports and
directors you want...if you need specific help with setting this up I would
be happy to help as this is basically how mine is setup now...I allow people
to deliver it to a maildir or forward it to their own email...all specificed
in my database as the deliver to place...
