Thank you. I wasn't sure whether this was the best way to go, but I will give it a try.

Suppose my three users _themselves_ could manage an alias file for
each of their own domains - e.g. if user1 has three domains, she
could update her aliases for domainX in the file 
"domainX-aliases" in a directory where she has write-access.
I'm really not too hooked on the idea of managing the aliases myself
and also I would rather not give the users access to /etc/aliases if
I can avoid it.

How would I go about setting this up ? (if it is possible, that is) ?

Kind regards,

Rune
