Mistake #1: deliver.sys may be called with several addresses, so you
need a loop.  Mistake #2: if you want tucker's ".deliver" executed,
you should just output "tucker" and let the parent Deliver handle it.
So the code should be more like:

================================================================

FWD=

for u
do
    case "$u" in
    address1) echo "tucker"; FWD=yes ;;
    address2) echo "someone"; FWD=yes ;;
    address3) echo "otherone"; FWD=yes ;;
    *)        echo "$u"	;;
    esac
done

if test -n "$FWD"
then
    SUBJECT="`header -f subject $HEADER`"
    mailx -s "Re: $SUBJECT" $SENDER << XXX
Your mail regarding:
   $SUBJECT
has been forwarded to the proper person(s).
XXX
fi

================================================================

Deliver never uses aliases.  It executes delivery files.  And "-n"
does just what the man page says it does: avoid all delivery files.

It's doing what you asked for when you used the "-n" option: finding
but skipping the system delivery file.
