I applaud linus's efforts in respect to mail delivery.  One word of
caution, though:  path expansion can lead to infinite loops.  Infinite
loops will not occur if data bases are kept consistant, but if many
sites begin providing path expansion, I think that inconsistant data
bases are inevitable.  Therefore, sites which provide path expansion
should check for infinite loops.
