Emails to www.domain.com disappear
Kinda stuck on this. I can get emails to admin@mydomain.com , but i really wanted to alias it so emails to admin@www.mydomain.com go to the same account. MX records for www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com both go to mail.domain.com. .
This is on a dedicated server, centos, with exim doing the email handling.
I was thinking maybe it would be like an alias of some sort, or somewhere to put a list of combinations i can accept email for.
Any ideas?

If you are using cpanel with exim, add the entry www.domain.com in the file /etc/localdomains. www has got CNAME set to domain.com, so exim uses local delivery to the mail account admin@domain.com if you send mail to admin@www.domain.com, provided the /etc/localdomains has got the entry www.domain.com.

It looks like in the DNS part of cpanel, I am seeing the www cname'd to the regular domain, so this is pretty odd.
This is definitely a head scratcher.
