if you give all your machines a fake domain name....boo.boo, say. |
17 |
and set up a postfix server that considers itself authoritative for |
18 |
that domain, then your wife could send an email at matt@×××.boo, and |
19 |
her email client would be set up to send via that mail gateway (for |
20 |
ALL mail). the gateway (that postfix box) would accept the mail, |
21 |
look at it and say, oh, that's matt on me. you would then check that |
22 |
server via pop (or preferably imap) for the boo.boo domain mail. |
23 |
That's essentially what happens with my family, except I happen to |
24 |
own the jolet.net domain, and that box also handles incoming traffic |
25 |
for that domain. I'd call that pretty set it and forget it. Or |
26 |
better yet, spend the $7/year and buy your own domain. I use |
27 |
zoneedit to populate the relationship between jolet.net and my |
28 |
dynamic ip address on my broadband, and publish that as the mx for |
29 |
jolet.net. |
