- PMDF typically does not use that rewrite rule. The channel block for the
- defragment channel is there so that options can be set for the channel. A
- channel must have an associated host name and hence the
- "defragment.sigurd.innosoft.com" address. We then go ahead and add a rewrite
- rule for that host name on the off chance that mail gets sent directly to
- xxx@defragment.sigurd.innosoft.com.

- I'll leave the details of this to Ned to describe as he's the one who
- implemented it.
