OOPS!  But the "me" domain _is_ currently in "hosteddomains".  That's
the lone domain that used to be in "locals", which I just recently moved
to "hosteddomains".

So ... it appears that there is at least one domain that must be either
in "me" or "locals", that being the "defaultdomain", right?  And
therefore, it shouldn't be in "hosteddomains" at all.

And because of that, there's at least one address under every validly
configured courier system for which the domain will be stripped from the
address before delivery ... namely, the one or more addresses hanging
off of "defaultdomain", correct?

I was hoping to set things up so that _all_ email addresses, including
those which are part of "defaultdomain", participate in delivery with
the domain as part of the address.  Is there any way to do this?  This
is a (hopefully!) clearer statement of my original question in this
thread.

Hmm ... what if I do this:

  file                   contents
  ----                   --------
  defaultdomain          defdom.com
  me                     home.defdom.com (note the "home" subdomain)
  locals                 (empty)
  hosteddomains          defdom.com and others

Will this allow mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to be delivered to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and not simply "foo"? ... or will the fact that
"home.defdom.com" appears in "me" still prevent me from putting
"defdom.com" into hosteddomains?

Thanks.
