Re: Gmail style alias setting



Hello

Take a look at lbdb (Little brother database,
http://www.spinnaker.de/lbdb/). You can pipe all mail through this
little app which then stores all found email adresses.

Additionaly it has the possibility to fetch more adresses from other
sources too.

If you don't use procmail or any other tool to process mail on
receiving, you can use the filter-functionality of mutt to parse the
mail on reading.
