Hello Ilan I use a popmail client for getting the mail from the shell account. I also have an account on the linux box by the same userid as the shell account. in the .pinerc you can set a different host name, so I set it as pluto.mscc where the shell account sits. What gives is that the reply mails return to the shell account because that is where the address points too. And It doesn't require adding a reply to field. Oori Hasson.
