Hmm - now that's a good question.

I'd say that in the cases where a user has shell access and can edit their
own .qmail or .forward files, it's a bad idea to try and track those
forwardings and synchronize them with Freeside, which works under the
assumption that the Freeside database is *the* authoritative source of all
information. 

In the case where a user *doesn't* have shell access, they'll still want
to change their own forwardings, probably from a webpage of some sort.  It
seems to me that this would be best as a stand-alone application - what
would be the advantage to sending the data back to the Freeside database
and exporting it from there? 

I'm convincable, but I'm tough.  :)
