whats the point of @localhost entries for a mail server
- by radman
Hi,
After recently setting up a mail server I am now adding the users that I need. As part of the tutorial I followed I created root@localhost as an account and also a bunch of aliases (postmaster@localhost, webmaster@localhost etc).
What is the point of having al these localhost addresses? it seems that no one can ever mail them directly...
Also I am curious as to what targets I should include on my domain (like postmaster, root, webmaster etc) and what ramifications there might be for doing so?
