Sorry? Sure, it's a way to shoot yourself in the foot, if you try to. But at least traditional Unix forward mechanisms allowed that for ages, and it never caused much grief, not even today. I consider multiple redirects to be an important feature, important enough that I would ignore a SHOULD. Btw, the language is not precise. In general, you can't tell if multiple addresses belong to multiple users. But I guess "to more than one address" was thought of. Tsts. ;) Michael
