[ale] Help with mail forwarding

[Steve Tynor]

My hosting company does not support forwards to certain domains 
purportedly to prevent being blacklisted by those domains (yahoo, 
hotmail, etc.).   I had a problem setting up cpanel forwards that would 
work for a while, until their daily "check for illegal forwarders" 
script would run, then they'd disappear.  Perhaps something like that is 
going on?
