NAME
chpobox - change where user receives mail
SYNOPSIS
chpobox [ -d|a address] [-u username]
DESCRIPTION
...
(your own name by default). If neither the -a or the -d
option is given, the current mailboxes will be displayed.
so chpobox should return my current pobox (which it doesn't) and
chpobox -a user@machine should add a pobox for me...
chpobox -u <anyuser> should not return an unauthorized attempt to
modify the user's email address, but maybe unauthorized
access (for privacy)
