The simple easy way to handle this would be to deliver info@domain to a real mailbox and setup Sally's Outlook accounts to include both her private and her info@ accounts. You can even create folders for each of the info@ addresses and use filters to move the incoming emails into the correct folder and a copy of the replies into the same folder. Then Sally can easily see how many unread info@domain1 and info@domain2 emails she has to handles and every time she replies to an email it would go out from the same info@ from: address. Sounds to me like you are using info@ as an alias and in your circumstance it should be a real mailbox. There is no reason why Sally cannot have multiple accounts on the same server with different user names, signatures and email addresses Rick -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
