The forward I created for your account is: bubbles@best.com --> bubbles@bubbles.best.vwh.net In other words, we are forwarding @BEST.COM addresses.. not messages sent DIRECTLY to a shell box. If you want to (temporarily) forward your @shell18 email, put a .forward file in your shell18 Home dir. When BEST's shells are shut down, @shellN.ba.best.com addresses will cease to exist. All email to bubbles@shell18.ba.best.com will bounce, but bubbles@best.com will continue to forward. -- Larry
