However, if now the actual delivery to 'user' fails with a temporary
status which causes the recipient 'user' to be requeued, the forward
file will be expanded again on the next queue run, causing multiple
deliveries to all other recipients specified. When given as '\user'
subsequent expansions would be prevented.
