Sue - The easiest answer is just to add a line in /etc/aliases on the mail server which will intercept their mail and split off two copies, one of which goes to you and the other to the new address which you will program their mail agent to respond to. jack: newjack@welearn.com.au, sue@welearn.com.au and then run newaliases to change it. You will get a full copy of their mail. If there's a way to do a 'remote BIFF' on somebody else's mail, I'd like to hear it, too :) -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo
