: So even if you send out mail with the CNAME in the From: header field, : the recipient mailer will rewrite it.. no way around it. Well I get Remco Blaakmeer's mail as being "From: .. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>". So it's going from his Smail system, to debian.org's Qmail and my ZMailer. And none of them change the address. Sendmail indeed does, but there are quite a few other MTA's out there, and at least these three tend not to do it allways. : The correct way to solve this is to not use CNAMEs but to just set : up an extra A + MX record. Or perhaps just an MX record if all you're : using it for is mail. Ack. bye, Remco -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble? E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
