Sorry I replied out of context <wry grin>.  That's what happens when I
try to catch up on hundreds of posts <frown>.

As Jimmy Gross already wrote, if you a catchall for all mail not
otherwise deliverable locally, use @hostname.domain.com (where hostname
is almost always "www").  If you want ALL email to the site in the
catchall, regardless of whether or not any other email boxes exist, use 
@domain.com.
