I see from my initial mail that I made a mistake when listing up "the new setup". Only one entry is needed in the users/assign, namely the user of realdomain. The aliasdomain is fed to the realdomain user, so basically the aliasdomain is only listed in rcpthosts/morercpthosts and virtualdomains. Sweet and clean. I wish my programing skills was good enough to do anything with this. Sorry, it's not. -- -------------------------------------------- IDG New Media Einar Bordewich Development Manager Phone: +47 2336 1420 E-Mail: eibo(at)newmedia.no Lat: 59.91144 N Lon: 10.76097 E --------------------------------------------

But that's why it wasn't done before. Instead we used an old function and added the symbolic link. Ken
