It strikes me as a feature that would be redundant for many and good for a few. It *might* cause problems if someone is playing interesting games with their router to route stuff back out of those. >Let's approach the question a different way... > >If the "own domain name" is "mail.domain.com", >then the foreign aliasing rule > <*@mail.domain.com> = spamtram >doesn't work, because the domain part was set to an empty string >as the first part of the router processing. >*** Question: correct? >*** Observed Behavior: correct! > >However, the documentation says, >"Foreign Alias records contains a full name in the angle brackets >and the Router scans them when it processes every address >(not only the addresses with an empty domain name part)." >*** Question: doesn't this contradict the Observed Behavior?
