It doesn't currently do this. The problem with doing this is that each of those addresses would then need to be routed. Imagine the problems you could have if your router got misconfigured into a circular, ever-expanding loop, such as: <sales> = salesmen-east, salesmen-west, supervisors <salesmen-east> = joe, mike, bill <salesmen-west> = nancy, aj, mark <supervisors> = herb, frank, sales Don't get me wrong; I think that the capability would be great to have. (One of the advantages would be that the "to <account>" information in the header would be hidden, which has some very positive implications for mailing lists.) But there would have to be some extra intelligence built into the router to prevent infinite loops like this, and somehow I don't think that Stalker's profit margin on SIMS would cover the development. :) What I really don't understand about your request is why you wouldn't want to simply set up the "sales" account with "discard mail" and a distribution list; it essentially does the same thing. ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
