Each one seperately. You probably want a slightly more complex mapping if I understand your actual need here... >I failed to mention that I want to be able to access all of the mail >from all the domains with my postmaster account So you have 75 domains, but only one real mailbox? This is all possible in the router with 75 lines of this form: <*@a.com> = postmaster Of course, a good text tool (BBEdit and a regex search/replace could do it...) can turn a list of domains into all the lines you need, suitable for pasting into the router, in a few milliseconds. the reason SIMS, or *any* good MTA, needs this is simple: control. There are some MTA's that offer a feature of trusting MX records to determine what mail is local. This means that if you set up the domain e.com and point the best MX record at a sendmail server with the "bestmxislocal" feature configured, it will accept mail aimed at *@e.com as mail for local users and attempt to deliver it. Unfortunately, this means that your mail server can be made to act like the final resting place for mail by ANYONE ON THE NET. It was wise of Stalker to not bother building this feature for SIMS, because it is effectively a security problem. For a situation like yours where you want all mail for all domains handled by SIMS to land in a single mailbox, it is completely out of the question. -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
