This is a sensible request... > What is the best email server to do this kind of mapping? But this is just emotional blackmail! ;) Postfix has a very handy canonical_maps (also canonical_sender and canonical_recipient maps) setting. It means that you can make the switcheroo 'at the border', both ways. So everyone sees 'jeff.waugh @ perkypants.org' on the outside when you send, and it gets changed back to 'jdub @ perkypants.org' when mail comes in. Just about every MTA will do similar, or a fairly close approximation, though. (I'm just familiar and happy with postfix.) - Jeff -- I wonder how many bugs have gone unfixed due to misspellings of "FIXME".
