The sendmail -bv command works differently in postfix than in sendmail(TM). In postfix, the command always returns success, and then a status report is mailed to the user. The milter will always see a "success" status regardless of the address used, even if the address does not exist. No alias expansion is returned to the milter. It seems unlikely this is useful to spamass-milter. -- Noel Jones
