Yes, but it is simpler when you use routes:
kde.org error!badkde
The trick is, that fqdnalias processing happens
before anything else, and the routes sometime
after it, thus you can do fall-back route of domains
to channels, like to the error -- and it does scale ;-)
It would scale better, if the error channel were
smarter -- to be able to express some more generic
thing, like:
error!novirtdomainuser!"customized message text"
from which the channel is 'error', and the channel
parameter ("host" part) is "novirtdomainuser", which
is a file name in "$MAILSHARE/forms/" directory.
Then the extra arguments could be used in the error
reports -- somehow.
There could even be a way to report an error without
doing error report generation by the error channel
program. Something in style of:
error!-!"customized message text"
which would use DSN mechanisms to do the reporting.
