The strange thing, however, is that:
1. Even if I comment out the second rule, everything works just
like before, which is:
2. The address gets re-written for people in the csinfo database
(real humans), but it doesn't get re-written for people in the
nicknames db (postmaster, system, etc.).
3. If I reverse the rule (i.e., try csinfo first, nicknames
next), the effect gets reversed (which is, nicknamers get
re-written, and csinfo guys stay put).
So it may just be the fact that there are too many implicit "if"s
in there, or too many lookups. I think.
