Most likely some of your recipient addresses are themselves mailing lists which redistribute the mail. If they send you a complete copy of the mail you might be able to narrow this down by looking at the 'Received:' headers. Then if you and the suspect destination are on Internet, you can 'telnet' to the 'smtp' port and use the 'EXPN' command to expand the address you are sendingto. -- =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= Neil W.
