It would.  If this is all you're using it for, a better solution would
just be to have the correct "MX" record [which I think you had], and
tell your 'sendmail' to accept mail to your domain.  It's even easier
with Sendmail V8 than it used to be.

And I apologize - I had forgotten that some misanthropic mail programs
do just exactly that.  Your 'uunecode'ing would, of course, nullify
that.  My solution is to avoid such mail programs.

I just went back through several message threads on this subject, and
it isn't always at all obvious going in that the end result will be a
misused "CNAME".  Sometimes, it wasn't all that obvious coming out.
