One of the standard features of qmail is to allow users to have
extensions. So [EMAIL PROTECTED] will get delivered to the
same account as [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
One nice thing that I like about this is when I have to give
out my email address to a site I suspect might hand it off
to spammers, is to say my email address [EMAIL PROTECTED]
where "thesite" would be the site name I'm giving my email
address to. That way when I receive email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I know it came from that registration.
What vpopmail does, to try and make everyone happy, is to
first look for a someone-test user. If that fails it tries
to look for a someone user.
