| I noticed that! Welcome you have joined a rather unique group of people who utilize a rather unique and extremely versatile software program.
I believe time will reveal FUDforum as one of the best kept secrets of the forum world.

Of course you are right on that, if I recall correctly that is the way the install file sets it up initially although the default addy's used are not always accurate for your particular setup, desire or intent as you have already found out.
So obviously it works, even with the mail group; but should we install and use it that way?
I originally asked "What would be the perils" perhaps I should have used possible complications, or perhaps possible unintended consequences, and specified personal addresses not just identical ones.
I have always thought that email groups, like the admin and Notify from addy's should be separate addresses yet associated with the domain name of the forum somehow.
Although I lack naudefj's technical expertise and knowledge I believe there will be future difficulties encountered using not only the same address for both but using your personal address for both. But just because I think that way does not make it gospel.
I'm sure that you and your group could make some great philosophical discussions out of this but I think that bringing a forum or website into existence is creating an on-line entity which may exist longer than we do.
So I believe we owe it to ourselves to take that into consideration from the beginning.
