Outbound filtering has been there since the Ark (and two copies of TB! emerging from it ;) He takes about 10 times as much space to describe what he needs (several times) as is necessary, but what I _think_ the TB! analogue is is: N accounts, A,B,C,D ... Z. All inbound email to A,B,C,D ... Y is redirected to Z by a filter with: Kludges = @ Destination = \\Z\Inbox in each of A,B,C,D ... That's the easy bit; the response is trickier. What he appears to want to do is to put the To: address of the filtered mail from A,B,C,D ... into the From: and Reply-To: fields of the response from Z (ignore all the waffle about 'personalities'). Now we get into the old, insoluble argument about 'is rewriting the header of an incoming or outgoing email legal, decent, honest and truthful?' and the real issue is that TB! says 'no' and Eudora says 'yes' :) I try not to 'blame the user', but some people seem to open a new email account every week. Some discipline is needed; I'm pretty assiduous about closing old accounts (which, unfortunately, took place three times last year because of UK ISP closures and mergers) and telling people I'm moving. Those who are interested will make the change and those who aren't won't; after all, do you have postal mail indefinitely redirected from all the properties you previously lived in?
