As I understand the original problem, you need one mail to be delivered to several users, which means you need to figure out how to alias or forward. Steffen's approach is a super good idea I intend to stuff into my back pocket, and is probably worth pursuing given your usage case. Other than that, and based on what I know, I would still be inclined to try and solve this by creating a local user and configuring a .qmail file to forward the mails to AD users, but tweaking your defaultdelivery to accommodate a per-user .qmail file might be tricky or impossible in your situation. A global sieve script might be another approach to forwarding mails from a virtual address to valid users, but I haven't implemented one, so I can't say if it fits your situation or provide advice on configuring one. Another approach could be setting up a mailing list, where the list address is the common address that delivers to subscribed users. Perhaps delivery to a single user and a shared folder might provide a usable end result as well... Whatever you end up doing, I am interested to hear what works for you in the end... > > Greetz > Matze
