Suppose our MX boxes have a simple anti-relay test:
require message = NO RELAYING!
domains = gla.ac.uk
I'd like to specify in one place that glasgow.ac.uk is equivalent. E.g
with a normal rewrite:
\N^(.*)@glasgow\.ac\.uk$\N $1@??? Eh
If the rewrite happened before the ACL then mail for glasgow.ac.uk should
be accepted. But it is not - the require statement denies.
OK this is a trivial example. But we have loads of subdomains
foobar.gla.ac.uk which all (in theory) are meant to have glasgow
equivalents. Right now we end up carrying around both formats for each
domain which is a pain. It would seem elegant to have one single rewrite
to take care of the lot.
