The email address are unique, but not the alias name. I need to append a different number to each repeating alias name to make it unique. for example, alias Joe "Joe Joe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> alias Joe "Joe Joe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> become alias Joe1 "Joe Joe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> alias Joe2 "Joe Joe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> But thanx for your help > > Peace. -- Edwin ERTW Lau -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
