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".

I myself am using Sendmail at home, and Courier-mta for the new mailserver I'm building for the office (Where the long names are the actual (virtual) accounts, and there are no short (and real unix system) accounts for mail-users. In sendmail and other mailers you can easily solve this using aliasses. If courier's features set satisfies what you need I suggest you look into it.
