Right. It's easier though to use qmail's -default notation (see dot-qmail(5)) so you don't have to make a link for every address. > But what about just using a keyword address instead to create an > address like [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's more or less the same thing. I just prefer using .qmail-foo-default because it saves me from having to generate an address each time. i.e, I know jason-foo-bar will "just work". > I mean what purpose does that 6 character crypted code in a keyword > address? The HMAC prevents people from forging a tagged address. It verifies that it was you who created it. The `CRYPTO' file in the TMDA tarball has more details. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
