12 | It does not do aliasing, which must be done either in the user agent or |
13 | on the mail-hub. Nor does it honor .forwards, which have to be done on the |
14 | recieving host. It especially does not deliver to pipelines. |

28 | Not right now, but what do you try to achieve? You can set email |
29 | destination for cron with MAILTO=<yourname@×××××××××.com> in your |
