I think think of a few ways... depending on your MTA... why not just setup an alias to first.last(a)domain.com to karl(a)hiramoto.org Maybe I'm not understanding your question thorougly ;) Cheers -- Chris Aniszczyk Gentoo Developer - http://www.gentoo.org - http://cia.navi.cx/stats/author/zx http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x274A275F

I def like the HOWTOs, just not sure how much people will like them of if they'll find even a stage3 gentoo box intimidating...Not to be rude, but please no comments for or against gentoo.
