refactored alias.c heavily especially substituted the loop-based alias_expand() with a recursive approach. Now alias_expand() wraps alias_one() which recursively expands aliases. In principle the ``data processing'' is the same but now it's clearer structured and thus easier to understand IMO. The loop might have been faster but I don't care for speed -- the most simple solution is the best. It's fast enough, that is sufficient.

1 .TH rmail 8 2010-07-23 masqmail-0.3.0 "Maintenance Commands"
3 .SH NAME
4 rmail \- handle remote mail received via uucp
7 .SH SYNOPSIS
8 \fB/usr/sbin/rmail \fIrecipient ...\fR
11 .SH DESCRIPTION
13 Rmail is a wrapper around masqmail.
14 It reads a mail message on standard input and passes it to masqmail's standard input.
15 Rmail only removes the first line from the input and constructs the return path from it.
17 Such a first line:
19 From user Wed Jan 9 12:43:35 1985 remote from host Date: 9 Jan 1985 8:39 EST
21 would generate this call to masqmail:
23 masqmail \-i \-f user@host \-\- bob@example.org
25 (If ``bob@example.org'' was the argument to the rmail call.))
