Yes - both address_rewrite_readme, virtual(5), etc. - are perfectly clear
about it, but looking at them, it seemed like only cleanup (by means of
trivial-rewrite) would do this (rewrite addresses to standard form). I
assumed that once mail get to a delivery daemon - trivial-rewrite wouldn't
be called again. In case of local delivery - it would also include its run
through sendmail-like aliases database (and if alias with @domain part was
found, forwarded mail would go again through cleanup(8), that would do the
job of address mangling). Well, I was wrong :)
Anyway, wouldn't it be good to add, under overview's ascii art, something like :
trivial-
rewrite(8)
^|
|v
local(8) -> File, ....
with remark in local(8) (just for extra clarity) that it also uses
trivial-rewrite, analogously to cleanup(8), for the purpose of alias
processing ?
