- I have sendmail-5.65c+IDA-1.4.4.1 with the option "FUZZY"
- enabled.
-
- When IDA matches a name for using the "FUZZY" code it sends
- it directly for the mailbox corresponding to that login name.
- No further alias expansion is done.
-
- This is a problem for since I use an aliases to
- forward mmail to one machine. If someone happens to use
- an address that is matched using "FUZZY" the mail can
- be delivered to the wrong place. I had expected the
- address to be treated just as if mail
- was sent to the correct login name.
-
- Is this a bug or a feature?
