A simple question. After ruleset 0 resolves an address
into a mailer, host, user triplet, what exactly is passed to
the sender/recipient rulesets? Is it just the user part?
Or the entire triplet?

Say I have a UUCP address, and I want to see how the address is re-written.
Say  the recipient ruleset for the UUCP mailer is 25. I would think
that I could test this by using debug mode and giving it
	> 0,25,4 user@machine.UUCP

I seem to have a conceptual problem, because the debugger tells me:
rewrite: ruleset  4   input: "^V" "uucpmailer" "^W" "machine" "^X" "user"

Now this implies the ^V ( or $# ) is passed to the other rulesets.
Is this true?  Would I have problems if my UUCP mailer is called UUCP,
and the domain is called UUCP?

If my assumption is wrong, how DO I test the rulesets for converting
a local address into a pure UUCP address?

What rulesets do the SMTP envelope go through? I think envelope is the
correct word. I mean the RCPT TO: <user@machine> and MAIL FROM: < >
lines. I don't mean the IDA sendmail, but the old beast.
