multiple aliases redirections don't work?
From the administrative command line
> telnet localhost 4555
adduser user1 user1
adduser user2 user2
adduser user3 user3
setalias user1 user2
setalias user2 user3
quit
> echo "test" | mail -v user3 -s "test mulitple aliases"
mail sent to user3 does not get sent to user1 as I would have expected
but to user2.
Is that a bug or a feature? I could find no bug with alias in its
summary in the bug DB.
Cheers,
Jerome

The code is not iterative. Whether or not it should be is a policy matter.
And don't forget that there are both aliases and forwarding addresses. FYI,
the latter take precedence.
