I have to disagree here. You're right that the real-* addresses are
only used by the default config to deliver userforward errors, but
they are around for a lot longer and also serve as a way around errors
in alias processing and other aspects of configuration.

I think that the current behavior is fine for the default
configuration in sarge.

For post-sarge, I am open to arguments, but am not yet convinced.

Greetings
Marc
