- I found I wasn't able to achieve the exact behaviour I wanted without
- the @acadiau.ca on all my return addresses in my aliases database.
- I tried a number of different configurations/m4 files, tweaking
- this and that. The only to to guarantee (that I found) for return
- addresses to include our mail hub in all conditions was to include
- it in the aliases explicitly....
-
- Maybe I missed some magic option, but I don't think so....
