I already did that, and check_ancestor is set on my userforward
director (which processes .forward files).

The problem still is that check_ancestor is somehow casesensitive;
as I said, somealias@??? works just fine while
SOMEalias@??? doesn't. It's not that it doesn't work
at all, the weird thing is that it appears to be case sensitive.

A way to reproduce this is in my previous email.
