	I was trying to rewrite canonicalize function a couple of
times, but I want to know exactly what kind of weird things it takes.
It does not take rfc822 ``address'', rather ``route-addr'' but
noone seems to have clear idea about it... :( Ok, maybe it is not
the real point but I think that zmailer nowadays is too many hacks
against its original design. Some things are hard-hacked  into source
instead of providing more general interface to configuration and
fixing them in zmsh.
