Not Sure, there was a lot a traffic this weekend.

Basically, the pr account needed to be able to:
1. send mail in a manner which it looked like it was coming from pr@
2. receive and forward mail to multiple accounts.

Gmail didn't like this idea:( So we ended up creating a
pressrelations@ account which appears to be sending from pr@, used a
nickname pr@ to redirect the mail to pressrelations@, used filters to
forward the message to several people.

The problems were:
1. I didn't think to use filters with wildcards as a forwarding mechanism.
2. There is a 5 day wait to recycle gmail names.

I a couple of day we can straighten this out for good.
