Hi James,

I'm just getting my DNS set up myself, so probably a bit too green to be
answering this question, but in the interest of getting you a fast answer:

I assume you've got your aaa.com domain setup per Cobalt with an MX record
for www.aaa.com, right?

Set up an A record for mail.aaa.com > x.x.x.x (same IP as www.aaa.com)

Set up MX records as follows:

MX bbb.com > mail.aaa.com
MX ccc.com > mail.aaa.com

so forth and so on. I don't see why this wouldn't work. Each user would only
have to have accounts on the aaa.com domain. Hopefully someone on the list
will speak up if I've made a bad assumption here. Worst case, try it to see
if it works. Won't take long. Just be sure not to use your catch-all account
on aaa.com to test with, as that would skew the results.

Hope this helps,

Brandon
