Hello David

That has been very helpful thank you :). 

Just for my own records, is there any chance you could copy and paste your 
pgsql files? (domains, users and virtual ones). It would be very useful just to 
check mine against yours since I'm using your recommended settings for the 
main.cf file.

Much appreciated your help so far.

Kind Regards,
Andy Savage
