All mail comes The difference he's talking about is when seding mail (going "out") he wants the MTA to rewrite the sender, and when mail comes "in", he wants it delivered to a certain user. The latter is a traditional alias, and the former is set up to work with /etc/email-addresses automatically in the debian setup. (At least that's how I interpret it -- I shouldn't speak for what he meant, rather what I think he meant.) good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes." -E.W.
