Please help me to understand and maybe a practical situation will make
it clear.
On our campus there several mailservers for which we relayed mail. Then
it happens that one or more of them cease to exist and the mail have to
be delivered at another place (e.g. exchange).
How would you, without rewriting the email, handle that situation. What
we did was to rewrite it:
Say the mail serves akad and addresses had the pattern:
user@???
We rewrote it to user@???.
Regards
Johann

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding
in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the
glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were
sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not:
for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the
Lord." Luke 2:8-11
