Forget trusted user, it sort of doesn't work. That means it does what
the specs say it does, but that isn't what you expect.

Not *@localuser@myhostname, just *@myhostname
In my case, my box is called pigeon, so my rewrite rule is:
*@pigeon jah.pigeon@ukonline.co.uk Ffrs
IIUC, the * is a regular expression matching character, so *@pigeon
matches root@pigeon, pigeon@pigeon, queakqueak@pigeon, eggie@pigeon
(if they all existed). Like with filenames.
Pigeon
