Hi there,

I have seen the question about dots in "LOCAL" email address asked (and
answered) about a thousand times, but that is not what I'm trying to do.

I have a qmail box that is acting as an SMTP hub for our company and any
inbound mail that has "."'s in any of the To: addresses (not the internal
recipient as we don't have "." in our email addresses), the address is
being stripped at the @.

So, the mail gets to me okay, but I can't "Reply-to-all", because the email
address [EMAIL PROTECTED] becomes first.last@ in my mail client.
The only way that I have "proved" that this is happening in qmail is that:

1)  I have switched to sendmail and all is fine
2) I know that qmail messes about with dot's for a reason

I can't use aliases for this as I have no idea what address there might be
(obviously)

Am I missing something obvious here, or am I just using qmail for something
it isn't supposed to do..

As I say I've tried to search the list but there has been so many people
ask about local delivery of "."ed addresses it's impossible

Cheers,

Bevan.

P.S. sorry if you got this lot's of times but my email client crashed every
time I sent it
