What Matti means is that funet's zmailer will look in fqdnaliases for
"shb@micro.com"@nic.funet.fi, then in aliases for "sb@micro.com", then
in /etc/passwd for "sb@micro.com", and finally send back a DSN saying
something like

	"sb@micro.com": no such user at nic.funet.fi

And that is okay. It might not be the error what you expect, but it
-is- the logical way to treat such perverse adresses.
