The code for both is identical until the point that the alias is delivered to an internal user and the forward opens a pipe to sendmail or another program. When using dbmail-users, the different command line options are there because a forward originates from an arbitrary address and ends in an arbitrary address or pipe out, while an aliases attaches an arbitrary address to a user account. (let me know if that explanation made sense!) Aaron _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
