Well, gee, Dave, it might be that no one can figure out from your
description just what your question is! This list, that list, aliases to
email addresses (on other servers, you mean?), Outlook, lots o' pieces.
We're NOT Ipswitch employees, nor are any of us paid (ha, ha!) for the
time we spend in this forum. Please, take a deep breath, calm down, and
state your question so I (not the brightest bulb on the tree) can figure
out what you're trying to do. And it helps to put a subject line up
there....
