i got my MX record to route *.mydomain.com emails to mydomain.com. this is so i can let people register my subdomains for their email accounts w/o my having to make any DNS entries for each person.

the problem is, when i tried it out, and sent an email to blake@blah.mydomain.com, it was received by my server as blake@mydomain.com

any ideas how to preserve the subdomain, so the virtuser entry blake@blah.mydomain.com is respected?

thanks in advance, 'hope someone can help me!

blake.
