Well, that is what I had in my commandsfile all along, except that I was
forwarding to bunyip. My sendmail.cf passes "user@archie.au" to the
MHSnet mailer with user part "user" and destination part "archie.au".

Given the above entry in the commandsfile, the message should have been
delivered correctly, but instead we saw the infamous routing loop.

Question: How can I determine which version of MHSnet I am running?

The man pages all have a "(1.2)" at the top, so that leads me to conclude
that we are running 1.2, which would also explain why the routing loop
*did* occur.

On the other hand, netstate quite happily accepts commands of the form
"forward *. [region]", which leads me to conclude that we must be running
1.3, otherwise I would get an error. Which is correct?

I've looked through the output from netparams, and various other commands,
and I haven't been able to find a version number. The output of "what" on
various binaries also did not yield much of a clue.
