a small service provider with more mail hosts than ip addresses would be
able to achieve an effect similar to the ip aliasing option. or suppose a
service provider doesn't want to allocate numerous ip's just for the sake of
mail. the requirement of a delimiter whether it be / or % or @, etc creates
too many problems and support issues. so many common mail clients choke on
delimiters, that there must be a better solution.
