Hi Philip,

This part works great -- I have three aliasing routers, applying it to
the publically visible one works great. Minimizes the processing on the
internal aliasing routers I'm sure.

Hmmmm, this doesn't quite work like I expected. What I want to happen is
that the person is emailed back the contents of the file (like a
vacation reply), but instead what I get is this text during the SMTP
conversation (in Thunderbird, a really huge dialog box :) ).

I'm looking at my userforward router (with FAQ_4.html#TOC156 applied)
and vacation router, but don't see the proper way to do what I want.
Maybe I don't want to use :fail: in my aliases file?

thx,
-te
