Basically what I am needing to get back to is this scenario All of the domain names
are representative names and do not reflect the real thing in my test lab.
I have a client using my qmail server for outgoing smtp.
1) If I address the user as [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want the message
delivered to the user on the qmail system. This works
2) If I address the user as [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want the message delivered to
the user on the qmail system. In other words both forms of addressing should work
just fine. This does not work. qmail bounces the message.
