Hi Philip,

Hopefully this will help. Here is the .aliases file:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:     [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:      [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When testing [EMAIL PROTECTED], it successfully matches then then 
the rest of the routers continue with [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What happens is that it doesn't re-evaluate the aliases file to match 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

This could be considered a dangerous thing to do since it could cause mail 
loops. Please feel free to tell me so!

Thanks
Tim
