->Yes.  

of course, if you're running smail or any other MTA that handles
aliasing also, you can fool elm into thinking that user@foo.my.org
is local to your machine. We have it set up this way here, and it
works pretty well (this setup actually led to the discovery of the
'elm destroys hard links'-problem, but that's another story;-).

BTW: the suggestions re: using sym- rather than hard links solved
the problem, thanks everyone!

Cheers
