It's Exchange, actually, though they may have picked up the feature from someone else. I know Exchange 2003 has that feature, not sure if old versions do. But -- it's a source of lots and lots and lots of database corruption, and doesn't work if there's even a single address from outside of the Active Directory forest. I don't know of an Open Source mail storage system that'll do that, though. It does seem like something that the mail DB products aimed at the corporate/ISP market (eg, Cyrus) might have, or might be working on if they don't. Been a while since I've hosted my own mail, though... (Michael, sorry you got this twice.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
