print a status indication when a message is autoqueued, either from
a -bq flag or a NoConnect

Force -v override of deferred connect

Only put the "from" person on the error queue if an error actually
occured -- prevents many "duplicate supressed" messages, etc.

implement an experimental forward-path algorithm by stripping off a
leading "@..." component and dropping it on the end.

try to come up with a workaround on some of the IPC problems relating to
interrupted accepts -- all this can go when everyone at Berkeley runs
unflakey IPC. Also, never use ruleset three alone -- involves changing
canonname again. Probably shouldn't do an auto-call of ruleset three now.

allow passing through multiple rewriting sets in test mode;

fix botch where it believes that a list is !oldstyle just because
it has an alias expansion in it.

overflow of "tobuf" on smtp deliveries, which caused core dumps

fix stupid bug in wait code to dispose of "Interrupted system call" message

fix a nasty botch in 3.194 that killed SMTP in daemon mode. sigh......

try to avoid "Interrupted system call" on wait in deliver and on
writes; fix returned message to have proper sender; handle extra
mailer output more cleverly.

more hacking on oldstyle -- always assume sender fields are in new
style so that locally generated fields are edited correctly.

fix botch in "at"s in headers
