Greetings list,

With the following config, with the secondary domain anonymized to bd.net: 
https://batteen.com/smtpd.conf.txt

and "fem: john" contained within /etc/mail/aliases

%{dest.user} is not expanding to the post-alias address as I expected.  Emails 
to [email protected] (it's my power company so I can tell if they sold my email, 
not anything creepy) are being delivered to /var/mail/batteen.com/fem/Maildir 
instead of /var/mail/batteen.com/john/Maildir as I expected.

https://batteen.com/smtpdlog.txt

Man smtpd.conf explains: "alias <table>    Use the mapping table for aliases(5) 
expansion." which to me implies that "%{dest.user} user part after expansion" would be the 
user after processing through aliases.  However, in order to get the expected behavior, I must use 
%{user.username} instead.

I'm guessing that I've misinterpreted the man page, and would appreciate 
correction in my understanding, but on the off chance I have discovered 
undesired behavior, I bring it to the list.  If anything else in my config is 
less than ideal, I would appreciate feedback.

Thank you very much for your time,

John Batteen
