That's what I thought, but when I wanted to do this string expansion:
data = ${lookup{$localpart}wildsearch{/etc/aliases-to}}
I wanted the local part to have a '.*' on either end before it was put
into the wildsearch (address:$header_to: is a better solution, as I
found out). How would I concatenate and prepend '.*' onto that string?
Thanks for your patience; I know this is a silly question. :-)
