I think you might be right, I just tested rejecting at RCPT and pine gives
a really useless response. It truncates the whole message but the last
word. At least with MAIL rejection it says something like "sender not
set". I will too do some tests but first must install this on the
production server... (my prudence in dealing with anything that has to do
with aliases comes from a previous experience with sendmail, I had for a
few hours all my developer emails forwarded to a list of 50 addresses at
cus! that was back in 2002))
