The approach with LibreOffice is different from the one with '/etc/aliases': LibreOffice can be used to create individualized mailings, while via the 'aliases' each recipient would receive exactly the same email (besides the 'To'-header of course). libre Grüße, Florian ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

It does assume though that your mail software delivers through your system's sendmail alternative or, if not, pays attention to that file.
