Well, the names aren't in a list.  And the internal Domino R5 mail 
server does
"fuzzy" name matching, and it can't be turned off.  Hence, when a bozo sends
mail to a common first name like "bob at imoveinc.com" or "mary at imoveinc.com"
the blasted thing doesn't just say "no such user" and bounce the message, it
does it's best to find someone with a first/last name which approximates 
"bob"
or "mary".  So, the problem now is to figure out how to have the Postfix 
relays
(which actually receive the incoming mail) pre-qualify the addressee(s).  I
think Steve Raymond gave me the answer (Postfix' local_recipient_maps 
parameter),
and I hope to try it out soon.

P.S.  By the way ... I'm not sure "IncrediMail" is going to make the 
"survival
of the fittest" cut in evolution.  All that HTML stuff makes it really 
hard to do
a clean reply on mailling lists such as this one.  Any chance you can 
configure
it to only send ASCII/text messages to "plug at lists.pdxlinux.org"?
