Good point. But we only have 4 people with multi-field forwarding
addresses, and none of them currently would cause the problem that
came up:
moira# awk '$3 != "" {print}' pobox.out
xxxxxxxxx cmvest@EAGLE.MIT.EDU, MERSK@EAGLE.MIT.EDU
xxxxxxxxx eharris@eagle.local, econnors@eagle.mit.edu
xxxxxxxxx jcm@rle-vlsi.mit.edu (1)
xxxxxxxxx mrein@po6.local, dhkunz@po7.mit.edu
"xxxxxxxxx" is an ID.
(Anyone care to guess what the "(1)" is for?)
No, there are more than that! (not everyone puts in a space in the
multi-field forwarding address):
Address: jdb Box: jdb@eagle.local,kathy@eagle.local,dania@po8.local Type
: SMTP

I'm not sure what the problem this patch to pobox.gen is supposed to
solve. The fact that basch forward to probe without the trailing
@mit.edu isn't a problem, since the local address probe is an alias for
probe@e40-po.local anyway. What's the reasoning behind making this
change?
