sharing e-mail addresses (was Re: [plug] Prevent downloads)

[Daniel Pearson]

Simon,
Are you sure you're not thinking of Fetchmail? And the setup you described 
just then is slightly different to whats been mentioned I think. (i.e. you 
spoke about *@mybiz.com I think and this is talking about 1.mybiz at isp.com 
2.mybiz at isp.com) however.. I could be wrong, i'm still quite new to this :)

Cheers,
Daniel
