3 to 1?

[Chris Aitken]

I get three of each email (from any source). This is because I have my 
ISP account (caitken-Bm8TULXj0r/3fQ9qLvQP4Q at public.gmane.org) and two registered domains, 
chrisaitken.net and shinypinemusic.com. I want to be able to /send/ from 
caitken-Bm8TULXj0r/3fQ9qLvQP4Q at public.gmane.org, chris-n/jUll39koHNgV/OU4+dkA at public.gmane.org and chris at shinypinemusic. I 
want to /receive/ any mail sent to [anything]@chrisaitken.net and 
[anything]@shinypinemusic.com. My two registered domains have email 
forwarding set with EasyDNS.

To have different 'From' fileds (in Thunderbird) I need three 
"different" mail servers. [Thunderbird can only create accounts with 
different mail server entries.] Of course, I can only really get mail 
from one server (vianet.ca). So, the three names I came up with are 
mail.vinet.ca, smtp.vianet.ca and the IP address. This allows me the 
three Thunderbird accounts. So, I can send to tlug from vianet.ca, I can 
send from shinypinemusic.com when it's business related, and 
chrisaitken.net when I think the response may be far in the future 
(hence, I may have changed ISPs).

The problem is, as you might have guessed by now, that I get three of 
every email. Is there any way to avoid getting three of everything? I 
don't want to have to customize the 'From' for each mail as I would have 
to change server settings each time (unacceptable amount of 
configuration for just one email). I don't know whether to call my ISP 
or EasyDNS about this. It may be something I have to do on my own -- 
assuming anything can be done.
