Derek, Thanks for the followup!
I was curious so I tried sending you mail at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- it basically bounced so I assume that is not a good "Internet" email address for you. (There was also a reference to spews, so possibly it is your address, but currently "blacklisted"?) <quote> Hi. This is the qmail-send program at newmx1.fast.net. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 212.187.213.75 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 553 [1] misc13, see http://spews.org/ask.cgi?S610 Giving up on 212.187.213.75. </quote> Anyway, I was curious.

That's a good point -- I did some looking and found that even Pine let's you set the email address of your "identity" -- I guess I assumed Pine would not have that capability -- now I'm assuming all email clients have that ability. I guess I'll see what happens. ;-) (I don't suppose there is an easy way of doing that for mail sent from the command line? Don't answer -- it's just idle curiosity.) Anyway, assuming they all have that capability, I now realize it does make more sense for me to use that ability rather than the canonical mapping capability because I can then send mail as [EMAIL PROTECTED] on the Internet or [EMAIL PROTECTED] locally. About as good as I'm going to get, I suspect. (Aside: I did figure out how to use a canonical map for sending only -- basically in the Postfix config file you specify a sender_canonical_map (or recipient_canonical_map) file the same way you would specify a "bidirectional" canonical map and then create the file.) > Take a look at the headers of this mail, and you can trace it through my > system.(Read from bottom up) I took a brief look -- I wonder if somebody has created a GUI email header parser that displays the headers in some way to easily make sense of them? regards, Randy Kramer
