[rancid] Release Authorised RANCID Email Issue

Wed Apr 3 13:23:02 UTC 2013

It works natively for us on postfix.

# See man 5 aliases for format
postmaster:    root
rancid-admin-networking:                 rancid-networking
rancid-networking:                       noc
noc:                                     foo at example.com

....

/etc/postfix/main.cf
...
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
...

That will do it
