I use this since I send from a local machine in my office but I want people to mail to me c/o a bigger machine that is up more. This doesn't resolve whether ! is better than %, but whichever you pick you can put into your mail w/o modifying sendmail.cf. Of course this has to be done for each user separately unless you modify MH's post command to do it. -- Wm.
