It's really just me, so I'll probably focus on the sieve plugin, now that I have dovecot installed on this new system. >> > One comment: that's a long "postconf -n".

I'll just have to figure out which they are, but inet_interfaces is an obvious one to comment out. >> possible. This was a configuration ported from an older system that >> I'm finally upgrading.

I understood what you were writing, so didn't follow up on it. However, I'm having an issue with the virtual maps now too. Perhaps I should open a new thread for this, but I can receive mail for the virtual domains, but I can't send mail from the host itself as a user in the virtual domain. I have a check_recipient_access restriction for all users and also have a virtual domain listed in a virtual_alias_maps, but mail from a user in that virtual domain is rejected with "relay access denied". I've read the virtual man page and the virtual domain readme, but still don't understand. I also don't have the domain listed in relay_domains or mydestination. Thanks again for your help. I'm now reading through the other suggestions you have made. Thanks again, Alex
