I am having trouble with an alias on our system... one user is aliased to
/dev/null...  I suppose this should send his mail into the twilight zone, 
but I can't get my sendmail.cf to understand that.

Does anybody have any idea what I can do to make sure mail to /dev/null goes
away?

Even a better question... Is it legal to alias somebody to /dev/null?
