NAME
       postal-list - program to	show how postal	expands	user names

SYNOPSIS
       postal-list user-list-filename conversion-filename

DESCRIPTION
       This  program shows the expansion that the postal program uses on email
       addresses.  This	can be used to make  sure  that	 you're	 configuration
       files  do  what	you  expect them to, and can also be used to produce a
       list of user-names for an account creation script (in case you want  to
       create a	million	test accounts in a conveniant fashion).

       The  user-list-filename	is the name of a file which contains a list of
       user's email addresses.	This can be just user-names or fully qualified
       email addresses.

       The conversion-filename parameter will be the name of a file containing
       the conversions to apply	to email addresses.  Each line in the file can
       either be a comment (starting with "#") or is to	 contain  two  parame-
       ters.   The  first parameter is the regular expression.	For each email
       that is to be sent  a  randomly	selected  user-name  will  be  checked
       against	all  regular  expressions,  the	first match will determine the
       translation that	is to be applied.  The translation will	be the	second
       parameter  on  the  line.   It  will contain a number of	"." characters
       specifying characters in	the name that are not to  be  translated.   To
       specify	the translations a range of characters can be specified	inside
       square brackets.	 For example to	have every address starting  with  "a"
       have  a	character from "01234567890abc"	as it's	second character and a
       character from "xyz" as it's third character you	would have the follow-
       ing: ^a .[0-9abc][xyz]
