Except you can't do that with an NT box because
you'll need access to reboot it every so many days
and you can't do that remotely out of the box ;).

How to accept e-mails to addresses like user@foo.bar%mail.foo.bar?

[Adam Nealis]

For reasons I am not too clear about, a user with
a POP3 vpopmail account on my qmail server appears
to let out his reply address as

[EMAIL PROTECTED]%mail.foo.bar

foo.bar is a valid domain that I accept mail for,
and mail.foo.bar is a valid host in that domain.

E-mail to this user generates errors such as:

Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host,
it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. (#5.4.6)

I've been through Life with Qmail and the FAQ and
didn't spot anything.

So: what info do I put into what files?

TIA,

Adam.
