I have done this on other servers, but I wanted to get away from the creation of users all together on the local system. Just checked out QMail since I wasn't havning good luck with Sendmail. They have a virtual pop server :) Seems to be just what I need. Also found a nice interface for it at: http://www.inter7.com/qmailadmin/ If I can't find anything similar for SinMail, I'm dumping it and going with QMail :) Sabre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
