Wait a minute - you can get /bin/sh to crunch mail with deliver. It strikes me that with perl (running in a shell script) and deliver working hand in hand, you ought to be able to extract the address, parse it, and decide what to do with it. Now you _CAN_ grok user@host, uucphost!user, host.subdomain.domain!user, etc. etc. etc. Come to that, with some REAL creative genius, I could see deliver replacing smail / sendmail .....
