Is this right? When I sent an email to DEC@localhost, I get an error.

This works for me. I think it supports the sendmail form of /etc/alias

At the risk of being flamed, I think sendmail's method is neater.

This is not a reliable design. I would bring all the mail into the

when you're not connected or when the dynip.com dns fails, your email

However, the RFC leaves freedom to the final delivery agent to have its own
