Read the relevant manpages: man 5 etc-aliases man 8 newaliases In short, the /etc/aliases file is much more limited in exim, although Debian's exim does use it by default. Newaliases is only there for compatibility and is a no-op; exim does not "compile" the aliases file--it parses it for each mail. So, it sounds like you should "dynamically change" /etc/aliases to get the effect you desire. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
