Ok. All I want to achieve here is to allow it to search for domains
as @example.com instead of example.com. I can modify it to do this with a lot
less effort than the abovementioned patch, but I thought the above was more
flexible and generally desirable. But if you're not interested, I'll go away
and leave you alone :).

The reason I want to use the ones with the @ sign are:
1. The setup we have now works this way, and while we're transitioning to
courier-mta, we still have some old mail servers using the old setup,
so we didn't want to just change all of them.
2. Then it works just like an alias file, which people are already
familiar with, thereby reducing the potential for future problems.

It's nice dealing with someone who knows what they want. Thanks for
the prompt response.

:)
