Hi Victor, Thanks for your response. In my virtual_mailbox_maps, I am using the results of the query from a postgresql database. I was hoping I'd be able to have the query return the full path of the mailbox directory and remove the virtual_mailbox_base from my main.cf file. However, making that change, mail was not being delivered at all. So, I believe I am using correctly, or is that not the case? Thanks, John
