Anonymous email redirection a la Craigslist

[besma]

I have the following problem which was posted by Pete_m earlier:
"I'd like to set up an email redirection system similar to that on Craigslist. For those who don't know, when you place an advert you can add your email address. However, rather than showing [e-mail], you are given a fowarding address similar to anon-9876521@[craigslist domain name]. People replying to your advert email the anon-9876521 address - emails are automatically forwarded to you.

Does anyone have an opinion on the best way of implementing this?"
However, I need to indicate that I am not familiar with qmail/unix, so I am looking for a possible solution in Windows platform.
Thanks

Really the easiest way to implement this is with aliases.

Sendmail and Postfix it's easy to do, and I'm sure it's do-able under QMail. As for windows....... One thing to look at would be the Kerio Mailserver.

Hi besma,

I need to add some more details to my previous posting.

I have created a web site where a visitor/client should obtain, automatically, an anonymous email address after providing his /her actual email address. For example, let us say that Bob whose email address is"[e-mail]" , visited our website and provided his email address, then he shall automatically be given an anonymous email address, say "[e-mail]" where "mycompany.example.com" is our domain address. This address will be posted in our website. Now, if Cathy went to respond to Bob she can only use (and know) his anonymous address ([e-mail]). Of course, any other mail to [e-mail] should automatically be redirected to Bob's real address, that it is to [e-mail].

This similar to the Craigslist.

I need to mention that i need windows based approch that is without Qmail.
