Managing mail with MMDF

Associating users with a home machine

You can configure MMDF to hide your host name behind the domain name. When you do this, all user names within the domain must be unique so that mail can go to any person anywhere in the domain without a local machine name in the mail address.

If you decide to hide the host behind a domain name, map each user in the domain to the machine where they receive mail by adding an appropriate alias. For example, if laurie receives mail on the machine poet, add an alias called laurie. The single member of the alias would be:

   laurie@poet
