Alias = A record having the same IP address. DNS is ok, IMHO.
(And there is no reason to have mail.jammconsulting.com in rcpthosts and
locals as long as people send mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (without
mail), it would have to be in those files if jammconsulting.com was CNAME)
I think the problem lies in DNS inconsistency (I discovered it when I
tried to send a mail from another domain):
machine1 $ nslookup -q=any mail.JAMMConsulting.com
Server: xxxx
Address: xxxx
