Sigh. I was hoping to be able to avoid this. But both of the responses were basically, set up something to handle incoming mail. > No need to replicate the pain again and again for individual servers. But your answer assumes there is already an incoming email system set up for that domain somewhere. But since that isn't always true it means that one would always need to be set up for it. And if there is only one single server for the project then that is the server it will land on. My preference would be not to do it at all. Bob
