Account config - separate email addresses for general contact and usage

[linker3000]

Hi ADSL24,

When you have your next PHP coding party, would it be possible to tweak the account management interface so it allows different email addresses for the general contact address and the usage report emails?

I'd like the usage emails to go to a group address so they're seen by all family members that use the Internet, but account-related stuff to go to the bill payer only.

Thanks

Why not build a filter to redirect?

Why not build a filter to redirect?

It could be done that way quite easily, but it's not the tidiest of solutions and takes the management of ultimate destinations away from the user interface.

I also dislike filters as they can stop working if someone changes the design of the emails in a way that affects the filter criteria, plus if filters are done at the end-user level (eg: Outlook), then they only work when the PC is switched on and the mail app is running.

I think filters are fine for end-users to sort mail into folders, but I try to avoid them for redirection/redistribution.
