"sendmail -bv" is useful because it reproduces all the steps of
address transformation of a real email message. The reason it can
do this is that it actually sends an email message through Postfix.
There is no alternate code path that does the same thing. It would
be problematic to have two different things doing the exact same
thing for 14 years.
Is there any problem with using "sendmail -bv"? The output format
(the second and thord part) is meant to be machine-readable.
