Well Im using qmail with vpopmail, does that make a difference? We have accounts that are external to our server. Some people dont want to give up their account and their external provider does not allow forwarding. So I been looking for a way to fetch external mail and just throw it into the qmail queue and let SA/maildrop script do the rest and deliver to their account locally on our server. Robert
