E.g. assuming I have a machine whose name is real_name.my.domain and an alias as nickname.my.domain is it possible that the two email addresses: luigi@real_name.my.domain luigi@nickname.my.domain are resolved differently by sendmail ? I tried to add a line of the form luigi@nickname.my.domain: xxx in /etc/aliases, and newaliases does not complains *provided* that nickname.my.domain can be resolved to one of the names of the machine. I am wondering if this is the correct way to operate.
