You are "ru@ucb.crimea.ua" but when *you* send the message you want it to say you are really "Oracle-L@ucb.crimea.ua"? I don't know how you do it in ELM but in MH (actually using exmh2) I simply put an appropriate From: line in ~/Mail/{distcomps,replcomps} in order to take care of the problem of a dailup network connection and dynamic IP address. Exmh places this From: line in the composition window, so its easy to change on a per-message basis. I added "N4HHE" to this message just for kicks. Is that the kind of thing you were thinking about? Another way, probably frought with problems would be to create yet another alias but this time one that forwards to ORACLE-L@DBINFO.COM. If you forward thru bulk_mailer (see ports/mail/bulk_mailer) it has options to rewrite Reply-To and other headers. That might do what you want. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
