Indeed.  The From list is in reality only one domain, so that's  
easy.  The recipients though is a file generated by a VB script on  
our Exchange server that spits out all the e-mail addresses for the  
IT Operations staff.  I have only a vague clue as to how the VB  
script works as someone else wrote it - I only need to see if it's  
output file changed and then pump it over to the MailScanner boxes  
and SIGHUP the MS kiddies.

The example above was more a "is it valid to abstract out *either*  
the From or To" question, not necessarily *BOTH*.  Although, now that  
you have my curiosity, I might just see what happens when I do both :P

Thanks Julian,
