That's correct. One possibility might be if the ISP offers a domain hosting package. Often with those packages, a "default" mailbox is provided where all unrecognized addresses in your domain are delivered. You could possibly then retrieve from that mailbox and re-distribute the message (using fetchmail) through your local SMTP server. That's about the only way I can think of to make a dial-up situation work where the ISP doesn't recognize extension addresses. > Unless a header field other than Reply-To: can be tagged instead, > yes ?

Unfortunately, no other header field can be tagged. The reality is that, with nearly all mail clients, the only header fields that make it into a reply are either Reply-To: or From: (Reply-To: takes precedence), Message-ID: and Subject:. TMDA doesn't currently support cryptographically tagging either Message-ID: or Subject:, although both ideas have been mentioned in the past. There simply hasn't been enough need/demand to make it happen. Tim _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
