If we use a pattern like the persons unique username: Elliot Chance <forums-chan...@postgresql.com.au> John Smith <forums-jsm...@postgresql.com.au> Then I can create a catch-all so that when an email is sent to forums-chan...@postgresql.com.au it finds the user "chancey" gets the real address and sends it on. If there were a way we could register a range for mj2 like accept all emails from forum...@posgresql.com.au then I think that solution would work well. > > -- > Álvaro Herrera <alvhe...@commandprompt.com> > The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. > PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
