Then that spam multiplies by an order of magnitude! Would it not be beautiful if you could say something thing like, everybody: :include:root /etc/mail/everybody.list ? I mean, aliases that can only be invoked by a specific user. Come to think of it, for all purposes and intent, "chmod 600 /etc/mail/everybody.list" (as user that will use the alias) will probably yield the desired effect. - Mark
