I'm not understanding the question. Scenario one: The MX record for domain.tld is sub.domain.tld, with no other MX records. Scenario two: The MTA on domain.tld is set to forward (say, via alias) to sub.domain.tld In scenario one, the envelope would be to [EMAIL PROTECTED] because the sender would be contacting the MTA on sub.domain.tld directly. In scenario two, the envelope would be to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as the MTA on domain.tld would be handling the forwarding. I suspect you are thinking of scenario two, but I only hear of MX with respect to DNS records. -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
