Hello Thanks i got it last night :-) i don't use control and i have different startup scrip also don't use Linux :-) instead 'maildirname' i just use '.' and that is it. Thanks for your help any way and for man page, it does help i have no idea why but i have different one. This setup i use for mail server and i don't see why i have to make all the dirs so deep like /var/mail/maildir/$USER/Maildir/. I came from Sendmail/Procmail background, but i think qmail-ldap performs better and easier to configure. Thanks again. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Edward Shabotinsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] System Engineer BriteSite.Net www.britesite.net 773-772-7300 ------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kurz, Robert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Edward Shabotinsky'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2002 3:50 AM Subject: AW: POP and mail delivery options
