Hello, Here's what I'm looking to do, and I'm not quite sure the best way to go about it. 1) A user will send a notification email to a single email, for example: mailinglist@domain.com 2) That message will then be rewritten and sent from the mailing list; so that the "From" and "Reply-To" are the mailing list and the body contains the original message. 3) As users reply, those messages should again be rewritten by the mailing list and sent to every member of the mailinglist (but not the sender). Of course, the "From" and "Reply-To" should be the mailinglist, not the user. So I'm looking for something that will behave as a newsgroup, so that messages can be posted, emailed, and replied to, but all the posting/emailing/replying should be done by the group, so that a reply never comes from a single user (in which a separate, private conversation thread could exist). I'm thinking public folders will do this, and I've tried setting it up with a forwarding rule. The problem is that the subject is changed so that the FW: is pre-pended, and the body also has the forwarding information, which I don't want. Any ideas? Thanks. PaulPaul Manno

I think you're looking at a mailing list server, which has features that many of us have asked for from Exchange but Microsoft has never built into the product. Here are some products that I've heard about, but I don't endorse any of them, having had no experience with them. Exchange-based products: http://www.ikakura.com/ http://www.gfi.com/mes/ (More than just a list server) Non-Exchange-based but worthy of consideration: http://www.lyris.com/products/listmanager/ http://www.lsoft.com/products/emaillist.asp Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Thanks Ed. That's what I was afraid of. I have a CentOS box running my FTP server, I might just set up mailman on it and use it instead. Thanks for the information.Paul Manno
