I'm not sure what versions you are running, but vadduser (called) lowers the case for usernames. Also, the mailing list directory is made upper case. This in itself should prevent the scenario described above. Incidentally, I've added a check (in qmailadmin) for the presence of the pop user in check_local_user(). Before it only checked for <domaindir>/.qmail-<user> and <domaindir>/<user>/ when testing if a local user existed. I've added it to my 0.76ac version. Cheers, Bill Shupp
