Hiya,
You sir, are a genius!! I think it was one of those situations where I'd been round in circles so many times I lost track of what was going on, that and reading to many examples from different sources. The server itself with Squirrelmail, clamav and spamassassin took two hours to set up and it was only this that had be stumped.
