Sorry, I don't understand the question. But perhaps if I explain what I
meant a bit more it will help. We have 4 boxes that handle mail to
*@cam.ac.uk. All they do is forward it on to various other mail servers
around the university. So x@??? may to go server A, while
y@??? may to go server B, and so on. This is just in effect a
forwarding operation - what servers A and B are or do are not part of
our concern.
