Filters.?.tab only work with real accounts. But you can work around it. Specify the real address in the filter tab file. In the yahoo.tab make it: "cmd.exe /c G:\Xmail\scripts\yahoo.cmd" "@@FILE" "@@RCPT"
Then in the yahoo.cmd test for the RCPT=alias like this: @Echo off setlocal if not "%~2"=="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" exit 0 set logfile=G:\Xmail\yahoo\yahoo.log ....... etc adding the one IF line, the batch will exit if not for the specified alias. Also change the last "exit 0" to "exit 4" to quietly delete message in xmail. The other way to do this is to make the RCPT not an alias. Do this. remove the alias from webmaster, create \mailroot\cmdaliases\thebatchfile.com\dummy.tab add this one line to the file: "external"[tab]"0"[tab]"60"[tab]"cmd.exe /c G:\Xmail\scripts\yahoo.cmd" "@@FILE" "@@RCPT"[crlf] you can still make the changes described for the first option, but the user check becomes optional because xmail has done this for you. Also I think the exit 4 becomes optional because there is no "mailbox" like command in the cmdaliases tab file. This has the effect of making ALL email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] go through yahoo.cmd, because you can't specify the from address in the tab files.
