[Dovecot] (no subject)

Hey All,

I'm developing a site on a VPS that comes stock with dovecot 1.2.17 and I'm
trying to setup some functionality that is very specific to our business
model.

My question is this:  How do I create (programatically) aliases for a
forwarder?

I have an address, email at domain.com that gets sent to a php script and I
want users to be able to send to that script via any number of different
names (could ultimately be 1000's).

I'm thinking that I append/delete from the etc/aliases file and then run
#newaliases

So that email at domain.com will answer on dummy at domain.com or
dothis at domain.com, once the email comes in, I can check the header, get who
it was really sent to, do all my checks, perform the necessary action blah
blah blah... and be able to do it all on one piece of code (my fantasy LOL).

Am I on the right track here or is this simply not going to work?

Thanks,

Pete
