I understand that, but ..

.. as the odd substring matching behaviour was never documented
like that, as no one seems to be interested in it, and as going
from 1.6 to 2.0 is a new major release which valids some minor
changes in behaviour, I think it's the way to go.

The similar behaviour in emailcmp (for "rcpt" options) in 1.6
had resulted in some debugging for me when starting to use
milter-greylist, too. I was running in testmode with an
"rcpt ian@..." clause in greylist.conf, and wondered
why mails to marian@... got greylisted, too, until
I found out that it matches substrings ..
