[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1760404, member: 175845"] That's just what an email alias is intended to do. If "jane.doe@icloud.com" is the real email address, it's just like a house address, but if someone wants to have "jane&harry.doe@icloud.com" as there email address, that appears to be a different email address but in actual fact is basically just acting as a [B][I]pointer[/I][/B] to the real email address. That's just the way email addresses work if one wants all the related email, both real address and alias address emails to arrive or be sent from a single email account. Phew… but I didn't makeup the rules or the various methods to change or implement them. And please don't get us into spammers and forged email addresses etc. :Mischievous: - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
