Re: [MLUG] Mail Server With DSL

[Michael <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Well assuming EMAIL:PROTECTED would end up at
EMAIL:PROTECTED and EMAIL:PROTECTED would end up at
EMAIL:PROTECTED and so forth. No aliases - just redirecting the
domain portion by changing the MX record. I guess my question is does
sendmail accept such incoming mail by default or would I have to beg the
settings be changed just for me (in which case it probably isn't worth the
hassle).
