What changed was that local_parts and domains are now expanded, whereas
they were not before. This allows you to do things like
local_parts = lsearch;/some/file/$domain
I will create a README-UPDATE... file pointing out this pitfall. Sorry I
didn't think about it before.
Many thanks for all your testing. It is most helpful.
