You will only need this if you are running your own instance.

This is what Jimmy did to get reply by email working:

The worker file had to be updated and then he also had to do this: Created 2 MX records for post and replies, and 2 A records. Added a virtual_alias_map into the Postfix conf, and added: @post.example.com dw @replies.example.com dw

to that. Added /home/dw/.forward with: | /home/dw/dw/bin/incoming-mail-inject.pl

in it. Adjusted /home/dw/dw/bin/incoming-mail-inject.pl: BEGIN {

   $ENV{LJHOME} ||= "/home/dw/dw";
   require "$ENV{LJHOME}/cgi-bin/ljlib.pl";

}
