One perfect example for me, is [EMAIL PROTECTED] This way I don't have to create a postmaster account for every domain that I accept mail for on the server. To be RFC compliant, this address is needed, but often gets rejected because I forget to create it. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- aaron - 02-Nov-04 04:32 CET ---------------------------------------------------------------------- After some discussion on the mailing list, and some looking into PostgreSQL and Oracle, I don't think that we can do regular expression matching without lots of funky database-specific SQL. Here's what I propose. Either: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] or postmaster@ @domaincatchall The former allows us to use one query, but requires changing entries that are already in the database. The latter requires two queries (or two clauses in the same query), but doesn't require any changes to the database. We could put the trailing-@ query into 2.0.x, too, since it handles data already in the database without any changes.
