My mail client is configured to send the username part only (testpop3),=20 so I don't think that'll be my problem. Mind you, if I get this=20 working I will probably start to use virtual accounts anyway. > Also you have to run that makeuserdb, you need the resulting .dat > files, and in the path its expected (I think /usr/local/etc) Check! I have been fighting with this since 8PM (I guess I should go to bed now=20 - it's 01:40 AM local time!), and I'm pretty sure I have checked and=20 double checked everything. But obviously something is still amiss! PS: I have also added 'perimeter.co.za' to 'me', 'esmtpacceptmailfor',=20 and 'locals', and then run 'makealiases'. All to no avail :( I'll check for more responses (later) in the morning. Thanks Stephen. --=20 Regards, Patrick O'Reilly. Perimeter Networks CC.
