Yes - we had wondered about using rewrites to turn glasgow.ac.uk
into gla.ac.uk - early - in order to simplify the ACLs.

This would clearly need to happen before the ACLs run, so a "normal"
rewrite is no good.

We wondered about using SMTP-time rewrites, but this seems to be
inappropriate, since they're meant for fixing syntactically invalid
addresses.
