If someone could explain?
have a look at the description of the 'dns' option. It has to do with controlling to whom the mail is addressed too. The aka option enlarges the list of properly formed addresses by, in your case, allowing mail to e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Without it such mail would be dropped, only mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or to [EMAIL PROTECTED] would get delivered. (well I think to have read that mail to e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] get delivered anyhow, not sure though) -- groetjes, carel
