That would work for a single backend machine, but not for multiple machines. If there's no managesieve proxies, then I imagine my best bet will be to modify avelsieve to be able to determine which backend server to connect to. In the short run, I think avelsieve also has an option to connect to a different server. That should be sufficient for testing purposes. -- Marshal Newrock Ideal Solution, LLC - http://www.idealso.com
