The bracket trick also works in alias files as well. This is really
handy. It will also work with a hostname in brackets as well like:
miah@[lnuxgeek.dyndns.org]. This allows you to send email to a host
without it having an MX record. The mailserver _should_ route the mail
directly which is a good thing for logs and error messages that you need
Right Now(tm).
