[rt-users] Sendmail: using virtusertable/procmail to remove dependency on maintaining /etc/aliases

[Ruslan Zakirov]

looks good, but...
* describe how to use it with some example
* most probably UnsafeEmailCommands is not mandatory requirement so
describe later in the same doc that the solution works with this
option enabled and how to use extended actions
* also, looks like this solution doesn't depend on $rtname and
$Organization options, don't confuse reader drop it.
