Jeremy, This isn't a single user setup, it's our corporate server. While I am the admin for the server I wanted to keep this code separate from the main exim.conf structure for maintenance purposes, as well as reducing the chances of unexpected side effects. One idea is the check for the file existing within exim.conf, and if it does, add a header. I could then check for this header existing within the .forward file I'm open to suggestions on the best way to do this. Gary -- Gary Stainburn Group I.T.
