If I understand you correctly, you would have to find a way to filter all the e- mails, probably by subject. However this would mean that you would have to tell everyone to put a specific name in the subject line, like: Cameron: Do you want to go for beers or Cameron's Wife: Have you seen the sale at Zellers You would also have to put that in the subject of any messages you send out, so replies will get forwarded correctly. My guess is that this is probably not the best solution to your problem. The best solution would probably be to setup a mail server like I have. Just setup a Linux box with Sendmail, postfix, qmail, or whatever, and give everyone an e-mail account. You will also want to setup a pop3 or imap server. I use dyndns for dynamic dns, it's free unless you want to use your own domain name which is a one time fee of ~$30.00. The dyndns client will run on your Linux box. The other solution would be to purchase more e-mail accounts from a provider, or use something like Hotmail or Yahoo mail. I'm not sure if CLUG still offers e-mail addresses or not.
