Brian, I forsee a couple of issues with this approach.
If John Doe (the user that will contain all messages incomming and outgoing)
receives a message, he will get a second copy.
If John Doe sends mail, he will get also a copy.
If you have aliases associated with the domain like [EMAIL PROTECTED] he will
also get a copy.
I like your idea of kinda having a validation rule, but I have no clue on
how to do it. Any pointers? Also, this does impose an extra load on the
server, but I guess there is no way to change that right?
thanks
