It depends on how you like doing things like that and how many email addresses you've got, I guess. I just set up a new 'forwarding' address [EMAIL PROTECTED] and to my view, it would be WAY more bother than it is worth to set up a whole new POP box for a mail alias that'll get maybe a message a month. Ditto for things like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" [neither of which has ever gotten an email message, probably never will, but are required email addresses]. If you have a very simple email world, then it isn't so bad [or if you're VERY tolerant of lots of admin overhead]. Most folk I know, for example, haven't bothered setting up their 'alumni' and other forwarding-addresses to separate POP boxes from their main addresses -- so not just me, but my "circle" of acquaintances mostly doesn't worry much about the 1<->1'ness. (and keeping the 1<->1 setup gets worse when you get a domain [or several domains] of your own and the number of possible-email addresses starts getting into serious numbers). ------------------------------------------------------- Given that I now understand what the issues here are, I'm pretty sure you *cannot* do what you want with Pegasus... you can certainly set up all the identities you want and have as many POP boxes as you want and have them separately polled (or all polled together or whatever), but there's no machinery I know of that automatically tags or sorts incoming email based on which POP account was used to fetch the email [and so your work in keeping all the extra POP accounts would, basically, be for naught with Pegasus]. /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- -- ---------------------------------------- ALL messages to the list MUST include a descriptive subject. To Change your email Address for this list, send the following message: CHANGE WIN-HOME your_old_address your_new_address to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note carefully that both old and new addresses are required.
