[9fans] upas aliases

[erik quanstrom <quanstro@quanstro.net>]

i don't know if anyone else has fallen into this
trap, but i don't see it on the archives.  i had
been following along and mindlessly using aliases
like

red.forman:	local!red

this is fine until you slip up and have

oldguy:		local!red.forman

which doesn't work if you're using a somewhat
standard rewrite rule set.  this is because local!
is analogous to "builtin" in rc.  it disables further
alias expansion.  the wierd bit is that mail
somealias will work while a smtp ping, which
uses upas/send -x will not.  that is unless you
create the directory /mail/box/somealias.  it's
all quite peculiar.  and i believe sending to
that alias should always fail.

does anyone think differently?
