Thanks very much - that seems to have been the whole problem. After changing %Lu (the default) to %Ln everything seems to be working, including spam being sent to ~/Maildir/.Spam. It does seem slightly odd to me that %u stands for user + domain, while %n stands for user without domain? And why is %Lu the default? Is it just for those using an SQL user database? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
