I don't know if there is a better method, but you could do this with the router table. Just list out the accounts that don't belong (I would have everything go to the server with the most accounts, and in its router, list the smaller server's accounts... or come up with a standard naming convention that lets you wild card them)... When you list the accounts, just tell it that it belongs on another server such as <otherAccount> = <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This won't be the greatest way to handle it if you are going to have lots and lots of accounts on each (unless like I said, you can wild card it). The other option is to give them slightly different addresses, and don't have SIMS mess with it at all (like [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED])... I have seen that done with large companies that need to segregate by region. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
