Hm... yes, that is a way I can do it, but then I'll need to make an account
for each mail address I have?! They all have different domains. It appears
to me that the 'mail account principal' is not yet properly implemented in
linux (well, I guess that the fact that it's a network OS rather than a
stand-alone one has something to do with it -- considering that it presumes
that your domain is reachable (resolvable) from the outside). Maybe I can
write smt for that (on the long run, heh). In meanwhile, does anyone have a
better idea on how to implement different mailboxes (at different domains)
in linux (using a ppp-connection)?
