It's certainly possible to just tweak the local mailer flags to deliver mail as a single user - but you still need to teach sendmail how to figure out if an account exists or not. Since the pop server will also need some kind of authentication, how you go about this depends on the pop server. I believe someone has already responded suggesting adding nologin accounts - if you've got a small userbase, this is a perfectly feasable approach. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287088 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk printf 'cat\nhello world' | `sh -c 'read c; echo $c'` To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
