Another useful piece of information might be "how do I cause Exim to do
NetInfo lookups when it is looking for what is often kept in /etc/aliases?"
Of course, one could punt and use /etc/aliases. But the supplied sendmail
manages the trick. [Mac OS X 1.0 shipped with a broken .forward file in
root's home directory. Sigh!]
If I ever start receiving email into the Mac OS X machine, I'll probably
install Exim. (I don't run MTAs whose configuration looks like sendmail's.)
