I found the glitch!
Unbelievable — a single space! The FreeBSD Manual: ALIASES(5):
https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=aliases&sektion=5
> :include: /path/name
The OpenBSD man server: ALIASES(5):
https://man.openbsd.org/aliases.5
> :include:/path/to/file
My OpenSMTPD is buzzing on FreeBSD, so I have to follow its manual. That
space has been there since the beginning of the internet, and is still
there now for Sendmail, for other mailers. I would have thought that
this space would be considered unnecessary — but not the other way around!
> 424 4.2.4 Mailing list expansion problem: <t...@on.lt>
It would be helpful to file such a “bug report”, but I have no idea how
and to whom...
Although I still do not know how or if it is possible to expand
<aliases> before <virtuals> in OpenSMTP, I have quite easily found a way
to achieve that by two separate 'actions' with their own 'match' rules.
Cheers!
