'best' or 'simplest'? There already exists logic for determining which account a given outgoing message belongs to, because that's how the :sendmail: target is being used. If you are arguing that having a different sent_source per (outgoing) message is useful, then perhaps a hook makes sense; but the simpler case probably doesn't need it. > It would be wise to either a) not use mbox or b) have dedicated mboxes > for this purpose...until I finally get around to finishing the lock > manager to make shared access safe. Certainly the sent_source mbox shouldn't be subject to something inconvenient like delivery of new mail while we're updating it :-) but I'm not sure that mbox people would be unhappy having sent mail in a separate file ... ? -jim
