i don't know if anyone else has fallen into this trap, but i don't see it on the archives. i had been following along and mindlessly using aliases like
red.forman: local!red this is fine until you slip up and have oldguy: local!red.forman which doesn't work if you're using a somewhat standard rewrite rule set. this is because local! is analogous to "builtin" in rc. it disables further alias expansion. the wierd bit is that mail somealias will work while a smtp ping, which uses upas/send -x will not. that is unless you create the directory /mail/box/somealias. it's all quite peculiar. and i believe sending to that alias should always fail. does anyone think differently? - erik
