Public bug reported:
1. Put an alias in $HOME/.mailrc
alias foo m...@whatever.com
2. Try to mail the alias:
$ echo hello | /usr/bin/mail -s testing foo
3. Read /var/log/mail.log and see "foo" bounce as an unknown user:
Sep 7 11:15:39 mycomputer postfix/local[9707]: EE038F6028B:
to=<foo@mycomputer.mydomain>, relay=local, delay=0.1,
delays=0.07/0/0/0.03, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "foo")
4. However, my other mail programs, such as Emacs VM, respect the
aliases in $HOME/.mailrc.
