Thanks Thomas, thnks for the reply. i used the first option as u said ----------------------------------------------------------------- If you don't use data directory hashing, set global address book to > 'admin-login-name.abook'. Then admin's personal address book becomes a > global one. ------------------------------------------------------------- I installed the Admin Add 0.1 pluggin and created the admins file as per the instructions and now when i log in to that account i am given a choice to add the new address to my personal address book or Global address boook which is perfect also the other user when he log in is able to see the global address book whic is grt. but he too can edit delete the existing global addres or add new address to personal or global address book here i see that any user is able to delete / modify or add to the global address book. i need jus the admin accounts to be able to modify or add the global address book.. appreciate your advice thanks regards' simon >> I am sorry about my earlier email... >> >> i did made a mistake in vi editing >> >> anyway.. >> if i now edit the file in vi it works fine.. and i can add new address >> to >> my Global address book >> >> but now i would like to know if there is a pluggin or anyway other >> easier >> way for the mail admin person to do it through the SQ mail interface >> without telnet n using vi > > If you don't use data directory hashing, set global address book to > 'admin-login-name.abook'.
