James ############################# Yeah, worst thing I did was add wildcard address's to the virtual file.. @mydomain.com franki between that and my postmaster admin accounts amount to about 30% or more of the 50-100 spam I get a day... If I didn't have spamassassin running on the server, I'd have been driven up the wall by now. regards Franki
