Jeff,
I have no particular need, myself, but others here might like to know. But I
guess I'll let them ask. I sort of figured there would be a bunch of DNS
stuff to do (each hostname would have to have an MX that points to the IMail
host). When you mentioned Sendmail, that gave me a clue that tells me how it
is redirected to the IMail domain.
That also means Yuri's answer was correct, IMail does not use a wildcard
(*.domain.name) in its Alias field.
