| R$+                   $: $(X $1 $: $1 $)      lookup generic name

1. use R$- not R$+
   otherwise the lookup is done each time the ruleset is entered,
   not just once (usernames like 'khalid' should match a single token -
   once mapped, K.Satter does not match a single token).

2. it could be argued that this mapping is only necessary on sender addresses
   in which case the rule should be in ruleset 1.
