Subject: [IMail Forum] dns host headers imail

In IMAIL add each as a virtual host ( aka IPless ).
Users will need to provide full login such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead
of just their user name. In some progs like NS you'll have to substitute the
"@" with another character like "%" or "$".

In the DNS for each zone set the MX record to point directly to the IP of
the
IMAIL machine.
