The following is enough: domB.com = domA.com >I thought this would cause any mail sent either to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or >[EMAIL PROTECTED] to be placed in the mailbox MyAdd.

So, what >am I doing wrong? And where have those messages been? Do you have your email client set to keep messages on the server? If so, then what has happened is that the messages were in the mailbox, then when you connected with a different config (i.e. for @domB.com) your client thought (and, from its point-of-view, correctly) that this was a different mailbox and downloaded all the messages in it (even those that it had from the other account previously downloaded). ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
