You could test that by posting to an external mail system, and looking at the headers received. You might want to add your desired domain name to the local domain parameters. And you might need to be running a local DNS server. This sort of jiggery-pokery with masquerading is not my forte, though. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
