Didn't see this one in the FAQ or list archives, so:

quoting makealiases(8):

"PROGRAM OR MAILBOX ALIASES The following notation associates an address directly with a mailbox, or with a program:

info: /var/shared/info

Messages addressed to "info" will be delivered to the mailbox or maildir /var/shared/info. A full pathname must be specified.

info: | /usr/local/shared/info

Mail addressed to "info" will be delivered to the indi- cated program. The program receives each message on stan- dard input. "

So I would imagine something like:

devnull: /dev/null bitbucket: denull

...would give me nice dead addresses, but in the logs I'm getting:

So it's somehow expanding to:

.xalias/devnull@precursor+2earltn0+2ecodepiranha+2eorg"@precursor.arltn0.codepiranha.org

...so is there perhaps a better way to approach this?
