Okey-doke, great. Thanks, Philip. That was the solution I'd come up
with too - I was just hoping there was a slightly nicer way of doing it
(it seems logically nicer to have the "don't run this" condition on the
checkerr director, rather than on [more than one] other directors). Never
mind.

Yeah, that would be nice. Or even a variant of the check_ancestor option
from aliasfile and forwardfile directors, which might, say, skip the
director if any of the addresses in new_address are in the ancestor list.
That might be tricky to do, though, too.

Thanks again,
Chris.
