I will say address rewriting. And explain it. Although it starts
on page 163 in my version... Nevermind,

^*@([^.]+)$    $1@$2.wju.edu    Ff


Which means: rewrite the address matching (the ^ in the beginning
and $ in the end mean "exact match", not "partial match") the scheme
"Any string (*), then the @ character, then sequense (one or more,
see "+") of any characters except dot (that's what "[^.]" means)",
with $1 (substitute whatever the * matched (the things before the
@)), then the @ sign, then $2 (whatever [^.]+ (because it's in
parentheses) matched, i.e., sequense of see above), then the string
".wju.edu". Rewrite it only in Envelope "From " (F) and Header
"From:" (f) lines. Well, this one you may want to change. We,
for example, rewrite our addresses in "Eh" (all Envelope and all
Headers)... But do we need to? Ephraim?

Skipped, dunno.

Well, we did it here, and didn't have too much problems with that.
I just took working majordomo configuration left from the times of
sendmail, that's about all. But if you have any questions, post
'em 'ere and I believe that people, including me, will try to
answer.

Vadik, who just discovered that this bloody W95 telnet has a little
broken terminal emulation...

P.S. Ah, yeah, almost forgot: good luck.
