Email forwarding for sendmail (or other MTA) that has support for standard .forward files and/or MySQL-support. This plugin is really two merged into one.
  1. You can use it as a simple interface to edit your .forward file. With optional support for keeping a local copy.
  2. You can use it to edit forwarding information stored in a MySQL database. This requires that you have a MTA that has support for this.
