Yes - if sendmail will do that for you, stop using it. Immediately. MTAs have *no* business mucking around with subject lines! That said, you can probably get procmail to do this for you. If the user names are aliases that all point to the same real user, then you can use procmail from the .forward file. If that's not the case, procmail can be invoked from the sendmail.cf file. You'll have to read the procmail docs to find out how to do that, and how to get procmail to do what you want. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
