Well in order for mail to be delivered to a user (assuming you're doing things the "standard" way and not using LDAP or something) you're going to have to add the user to the system. The term "virtual" doesn't apply here I guess. A virtual POP3 account really isn't possible, unless you were using LDAP or something and even then it wouldn't technically be virtual :-) So in summary, you have to add the user to the mail server. -Mitch "When all your plans fail, backup, re-group and press on.
