	That is another animal.  The address is accepted, but
	the system does not internally know "thermoteam.pl."
	user.

	I know, it is painfull to do "fullnamemap" lookup just
	because the login-id (interesting userids you have)
	has a dot in it.

	A surprise to you might be that if you add alias:

		thermoteam.pl.: thermoteam.pl.

	then it -- likely -- will work.

	I do agree that these aliasing mechanism need improvements.
	With 'sendmail' you can (these days) have multiple alias
	databases which are tried in order.

	I will make some experimental router cf files available at
	my workstation latter today.
