- Duh, so that's why it takes forever on our machine (approx. 300 users)?
- But whereas I can see how I can speed it up on the above example, cutting off
- the domains on our configuration doesn't seem to work. We do:
-
- firstname.lastname@domain: <>account@somesystem.domain
-
- in the xaliases file. Somehow I didn't get
-
- firstname.lastname: <>account@somesystem
-
- to work. Does that mean I'm stuck with the hundreds of DNS requests?

- Yes, that sped up things a bit.
