Hi, in your case there should be no conflict (use virtusertable), but it can be in some special cases. If you have a user info and someone is writing an email to info@domain1.com which does not exists, so the email will be sent to the user info. This happens because sendmail strips the domain, after virtusertable lookup. Greetings Andreas On Tue, 9 Nov 1999, Istvan A.
