Thanks, Bill. Mine (set up according to the instructions, I believe) contained | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' delete I changed it to bounce-no-mailbox, and that works fine. Where is the best documentation for all this stuff to be found? I tried "man vpopmail" for example, and got nothing. Your toaster is excellent for getting something working quickly, but I now feel a bit lost, as I don't really understand how most of it works! -- Nikki Locke, Trumphurst Ltd.
