I do the same thing, and it works extremely well for me also. FWIW, my bulk_mailer code has a fuzzy address matching algorithm that is designed to recognize when the sender of a message is using a similar-but-somewhat-different address (via subaddresses or slightly different domains) than the one to which he/she is subscribed. Authors of other list software are welcome to crib from it. Keith
