In reply to a post by RobertoS:

I think mine is doing something like what you want, but just checking an anomaly in my own setup with Tsohost.

Can we just clarify the target system?

You want aaa.bbb@domain. Which is the one you wish to be fixed, aaa or bbb or neither, and what will you give the person you want to email to you? fred.bbb@domain or aaa.fred.domain? "fred" being the alias set up on the host. Or can simple fred be a mailbox but blacklisted?

'aaa' is fixed. Each contact gets their own 'bbb' so you'd be aaa.robertos@domain. Your email would be put in the 'aaa@domain' mailbox along with all of them.

In fact what I actually have is aaa.*@domain gets put into aaa@domain. That means no need to create the alias. I only have to do work if a contact goes bad in which case I'd add 'aaa.naughty@domain' to the blacklist.

I think most "Non-shared" hosting plans allow you to set up whatever mailserver you want to.

I purchased a windows "VPS" and then I installed a copy of Smartermail on it, it's free for one domain and supports *[email protected]

Here's the link..

Then I followed all the information at http://www.unlocktheinbox.com , to configure all the extra stuff in dns like MX, SPF, Domainkeys, DKIM to be email compliant.

Then I kept testing my configuration by sending an email to [email protected], it autoresponds and lets you know what's wrong with your configuration. After about a few hours of playing with DNS records I passed all the tests.

I also tried to do this with godaddy vps server first, and you can't run your own true mailserver it still goes out through godaddy mail. I would call the hosting place first and just make sure, but most places support it.
