Yes. If your mailer supports it, you can create a non-INBOX mailbox and send email to it using the user+mailbox convention. For example, if you create mailbox "foo", then you can email to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Note that this requires that your mailer (e.g. sendmail) support it. You may also need to use a tool such as tmail or dmail (now bundled with imap-2002). Alternatively, you can configure your mailer's mailbox data base (e.g. the aliases file in sendmail) to allow other names. If you don't care about being able to mail to these other mailboxes, then just create them. -- Mark -- http://staff.washington.edu/mrc Science does not emerge from voting, party politics, or public debate.
