I agree that this approach is fairly straight forward and I have not tried it. However our current approach (concatenating files to create a new alias file) is about the same in complexity. The difficulty arises from determining the contents of those files.
Just expose them to the person who knows what the contents should be for editing. Anyone managing a shift of people should be able to edit a text file.
You would think so but I have had a hard enough time trying to convince them to use the Outlook rules and folders (without much success) which would make their life easier. I really do not think I can count on them to maintain the alias file to make my job easier. I would just end up with a lot of complaints about it not working and then end up having to maintain it myself anyway. I might as well save the time and frustration and do it myself. Sometimes it is just not worth it to try and delegate some tasks.
I will now stop my gratuitous complaining and get back to work.
