Out mail is send to your mail account (f.e. info@2edalton.nl). The (pop) mailserver
is named in the DNS at the Internet as '2edalton.nl'. That is the part after the @
sign.
For example:
After a take over of an ISP by another ISP the mail systems can be integrated,
which means that at that time al accounts can receive mail with different mail
domains (f.e. as has been happend with planet.nl and wxs.nl).
Accounts of the former wxs.nl ISP now receive mail on both <account>@planet.nl and
<account>@wxs.nl. All mail to this accoutn will be stored in the same pop box. In
this case both domains are listed after aka (planet.nl and wxs.nl) and all mail
fetched by fetchmail (no matter the domain) is send to the local user <account>.

Thus aka is a list of all names a mail server is named in the DNS.
