I'm not sure if this is what the original poster wanted, but... Is is possible to masquerade a single email address in the same way the IP-Masq masquerades a single internet connection? By this I mean, to have a debian box receive emails via a single address, and be able to distribute each one to the intended recipient on the internal LAN.
There are dodgy ways you could do this, of course... like have the sender put the login name of the recipient in the subject somewhere, which exim/sendmail would rewrite the mail header with... but that's too much to expect the sender to do. You could also try writing some 'smart filter' which would try to identify the recipent from the contents of the email (most personal letters would probably start with 'Name,' or similar... but then of course there are problems with nicknames, non personal letters etc...). What I'm looking for is a better solution. Matthew Colin Watson wrote: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >Is it possibble to masquarade my e-mail to the outside world from > >my LAN ?
