Recently I played around with the new string expansion features of
Smail3.1 and I noticed that a lot of variables are not subject to string
expansion, especially the ones I needed mostly. Can someone provide me with
a list of variables that are being expanded (file lookups, conditionals, 
etc..) by Smail?
I understand that full expansion features is tricky with variables
like config_file, method_dir, transport_file, etc. But why are not all
variables in the actual transports/routers/directors being expanded? Too
much work?
Let me tell you one of the goals I have: based on the $sender_host I want
to assign a different value to the "path" or the "method" attribute of the 
smart_host router.
