email to sub-domain
anyone know of any way to set up an email account for a domain name that points to a sub domain - so the address is ://www.domain.com/subdomain[/url] and I'd liken to email [email protected] rather than [email protected] which is what I'm doing now
thanks for any help

Hello DigiLab!
What you need to do is have your web host set up the MX records for you in their DNS -- ask them, they should be able to do it for you without a problem. Once thats set up, a simple catch-all is very easily configured - and again, your web host should be able to do this for you.
However, I suspect that what you're trying to do is offer web e-mail -- if thats the case, check out http://www.solutionscripts.com -- they got a really great script we use for some of our sites with quite a bit of success. T he script is called AliasMail.
Have a great day, and good luck!
Sincerely,
