But most mail delivery agents will ignore anything after "+" in an email address (it gets more involved if you have more than one separator) for purposes of delivery. So if you need to vary an address for different purposes, such as mailing lists, and you can't create specific addresses for the purpose, you can often just add "+detail", and filter on the "+detail". -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
