I'll have a look into this, but what I think is happening is that when
it finds that the address rob@cimio is acceptable (it can be expanded
into something else) it decides that that is good enough and considers
it verified.
But why are you using this two-stage process anyway? You could just have
excimio:
transport = excimio,
driver = aliasfile;
file = /alias/file/of/ex-users,
etc
preceding your normal directors, and all the alias file has to contain is
rob:
bor:
goneaway:
etc. This should be simpler and avoid the bug (if there is a bug!)
