Hey Gang,

My questions yesterday were partly founded in a grey area, I missed a 
decision, but Dave's point is also valid.  We figured out that we were sort 
of coming at the same issue from different angles.  So just to make we are 
all on the same page:

A couple of weeks ago we agreed to have Rocklyn request a software change 
to allow us to have a "blanket" co and delivery address for a logical 
destination, primarily a restricted "queue" (logical destination).
This also makes sense for the fss1 queue which I honestly can't remember if 
it is restricted or not, but is hidden, used by FSS to develop new stuff 
for glmp, and is not in our 'space', so it also makes sense to apply this 
new code change to this logical destination, so that users in FSS won't 
have to go the web pages etc.
The activity to the logical destinations with the code applied would still 
be in the accounting report, but would not require the users to go the web 
page or risk rejected output.

Right?
