 |I have another problem with MOUNT. You remember my recent post about a free internet mail server mail.ru with dedicated servers for pop, imap and smtp and user accounts like usename@mail..

 |While your patch works with IMAP and POP, rewriting hostname with MOUNT fails on SMTP. See the log file:
...
 |07/15 15:32:45.87 [30826] 0+0: arg[5] RESOLV=cache,file,sys
...
 |07/15 15:32:48.27 [30849] 1+0: GWNAME = sendmail (built-in)
 |07/15 15:32:48.27 [30849] 1+0: substitute -- ${recipient} => username@mail..ru
 |07/15 15:32:48.27 [30849] 1+0: {R} retrying AAAA [-MX.mail.ru]
 |07/15 15:32:48.27 [30849] 1+0: gethostbyname(-MX.mail.ru) unknown[0.00s] 

Mapping the domain part of a mail address to the hostname, where a mail
to the domain is to be sent, is a very generic and standardized mechanism
supported by DNS as MX record.  So you should be use it specifying
"dns" in the RESOLV parameter.  "-MX.domain" in DeleGate means to retrieve
the MX host of the domain.  As an example, mail.ru has its MX as follows:

  % dig mail.ru MX
  ...
  ;; QUESTION SECTION:
  ;mail.ru.			IN	MX
  
  ;; ANSWER SECTION:
  mail.ru.		11364	IN	MX	10 mxs.mail.ru.

  ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
  mxs.mail.ru.		11364	IN	A	194.67.23.20


There is another extended DNS feature (RFC2782) to define a service for a
domain as

  _service._proto.domain

Using this for POP and IMAP like

  _pop3._tcp.mail.ru
  _imap._tcp.mail.ru

might be a solution.

Now I retrieved web space to find an Internet-Draft proposing it.
