When I created my WSS sites I used an administrator account and my
email address for the owner information. I am trying to change the
original email address (which is mine) to a generic email address that
several people can monitor and so I won't receive the emails that WSS
generates. I cannot figure out how to do this correctly. I have done
the following:

1)Went to the Manage Web Sites Users page in the WSS Administration and
added a new administrator account with the generic email address.

2)I then went to the Manage Site Collections Owner screen in the WSS
Administration and put in the url in the Web Site URL field.

3)I changed the Site Collection Owner to the new userid and clicked on
Check Name. It did verify the account was okay.

4)I then went into my WSS Team Site as a user that did not have
security rights to a doc library. I got the error screen that sends an
email to request access. The email still goes to me rather than the
generic email address!

I would appreciate any help in changing this email address. This is
driving me crazy that I cannot figure this out!
Thanks,
Jennifer
