And that will soon add up. The warning should probably go to postmaster, or some such address. Perhaps the "real-" was added to the docs to stop people shooting themselves in the foot by copying directly!


The real- prefix is used by the next router in the docs, the
real_localuser router. This avoids circulating the error messages.
