Thanks Damian, really appreciate it, Here is what I have already, but I put it in the aliases file, then used newaliases. programgroup: user1domain.com, user8@xxxxxxxxxxx, username4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx This works great without errors, i.e., ALL the users get a copy of the mail WHEN it is addressed to "programgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxx". However, the sender does not get a copy, and that is what I'm trying to figure out. A second task is for each group member's mail to contain "programgroup@xxxxxxxxxxxx" as a return address.
