Hi, Thank you for your quick response - apologies for my slow response. I have a single domain that has 2 categories of user (a unix holding account user, and a non-unix account user). I didn't think my set-up was that odd. After all, in main.cf, it states: "You need to update the local_recipient_maps setting if: > > - You define $mydestination domain recipients in files other than > /etc/passwd, /etc/aliases, or the $virtual_alias_maps files. > For example, you define $mydestination domain recipients in > the $virtual_mailbox_maps files." > So i assumed that: *local_recipient_maps = $virtual_mailbox_maps* was ok. About address classes. I don't think i need to alter the transport.db, and therefore am unsure about where to define address classes and what the vlaue should be.
