Sanchez" <roberto@familiasanchez.net> For example, many of my mails to this list originate from miami. My domain is connexer.com but my mails originate from and go to familiasanchez.net. I have not had a chance yet to implement mail for connexer.com and move my account over since I have been busy with school. Either way, the postfix running on santiago does not mess with the From headers at all since it is configured to host more than one domain for mail. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
