Oh, now I get it. <g> I didn't know you could set up an alias to cause
forwarding like that. I learn something new every day on this list!
You're right, it's a bit of work, but it doesn't look too bad.
Thanks - Dave

Dave,
You only need accounts for those users in IMail. All Exchange users
would have aliases that will forward to the Exchange machine.
