This covers one aspect of the problem (ie: having foo.bar.com handled by virtual tables and mixing aliases with that virtual table). However, my real objective was restriction. In a setup like what I have right now (lists.free.net.ph), and what you propose, the aliases for the mailing lists are global. So sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will work and will get to foo.bar.com. Likewise, [EMAIL PROTECTED] will work and will get to this list. I guess this is generally fine, but what if you want to restrict things, for a wierd situation where you have a user named [EMAIL PROTECTED]? (I know, absurd, but let's pretend it's not) Or even just for niceness, so that address/domain boundaries are more "clearly" defined? Anyway, nothing really urgent. Just ... a long-running thought I'd finally blabber about. :) --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator :: The Leather Collection, Inc.
