On the address-rewriting issues: my memory is that when even when the
address rewriting scheme was first put into place that nobody was really
happy with it.  I seem to recall hearing that it was put into place
almost as a kind of hack; the software we were using at the time (was it
sendmail or something?) wasn't flexible enough to do the rewriting rules
well, and the delivery/rewriting rules were so complicated that people
were afraid to mess with them too much.  It seemed to me from talking to
people at the time (I'm pretty sure that I made at least one ticket on
this issue and talked around a bit about it) that everybody was aware of
the problem, but that we just didn't have a better solution.

It would seem to me that, if existing software now permits it, that the
correct rule might that address rewriting should only be done on
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" if "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" has a meaning.  Until this
is fixed, the address rewriting seems to me to remain a bug.
