I now understand what you mean. In my specific case it should not be problem. Let me maybe explain a little more:
1. We have different levels of users/members and some of the members do not even have or will ever use a computor. They live in rural areas and do not have any IT skills. Most of them do however have cell phones and this is the information that would be used in theyre specific case for communication.

2. These low level members are grouped within specific geographic and other types of groups like business activities etc. with a Co-ordinator or leader of some sort which in turn is more IT literate and do have skills and technology available to connect to internet and will have e-mails. These e-mails will not be duplicated.

3. When communicating to the the low level through the "leader" he/she will receive the e-mails of the members allocated to him and he would then in turn communicate verbally or in writing/printing the communication or even through a SMS.

4. This would then mean that the "leader" would use his e-mail info in all the members that he registers in his allocated group.

5. When the low level member "becomes able" to use the technology the administration team would create a new e-mail for him/her and the specific profile will be updated accordingly.

6. We have other levels of members that are well educated in the use of IT and they will register online by themselves and there should not be a mojor problem in this area even thought there might be cases where we would need to sort out duplicate registration problems.

Hope this makes my problem a bit more understandable.

Thank you again for the reply.

Regards and enjoy!
