Subject: RE: address rewriting?

sorry I didn't get your initial mail - I just signed up for this list

you've shown how it's possible to _manually_ add address rewrites, & I agree
alias tables are the way to go for that. but I'm looking for a way to do it
"on the fly", using regular expressions.

I saw Wietse mention in a separate thread that it's possible to use regexps
in canonical names maps, but I haven't found docs for the complete legal
syntax.
