Hi Charles,

It works. For newbies like me, I'd like to mention that these Alias' in
the /etc/hosts file (your eg. ximian-charles or suse-charles) should
then be the host name in the accounts (Tools, Settings, Evolution
Account Editor, 'Receiving Mail's and 'Sending Mail's Configuration,
Host), instead of the real host name. When the account searches for the
Alias Host name (your eg. ximain-charles) the /etc/host supplies the
cross reference to the IP.

Incidentally, Andre Klapper mentions that "it's already filed as a
wishlist request at http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21270 "

Thanx.
