	Ah, I see..

	Something in this manner:

----- fragment of  $MAILSHARE/cf/aliases.cf --------
        # oh well... give up
+	if [ "$PUNTUSER" ]; then
+		return $(rrouter "$PUNTUSER" "$user" $attr)
+       elif [ "$PUNTHOST" ]; then
-       if [ "$PUNTHOST" ]; then
                return $(rrouter "$user"@$PUNTHOST "$user" $attr)
        elif [ $didexpand ]; then
----------------------------------------------------

(This is NOT a diff, just something I cooked up while editing this reply,
 but you can get the idea, I hope..)

It is a matter of style if the PUNT*-vars should be called SMART*...

PS: Editing/rewriting the config scripts may feel a bit like rocket-science,
    but it is not that difficult :-)
