Hi there, Yes I am creating a .qmail for every real user, if I don't then mail doesn't route to them. As I said this in itself isn't a huge problem, but the name.surname was. I'm not entirely sure why I need the .qmail for each user, but for some reason I do.
I renamed the files to firstname:surname and that sorted that particular problem for me. Thank you very much for that. Any reason you can think of, that I would need to create a .qmail for each user? Thanks again.

I don't think I understand what you're doing here clearly. FYI: .qmail files cannot contain ".", but qmail will interpret a ":" in the .qmail file as a period. Try .qmail-firstname:lastname Erik On 7/27/06, Craig Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > Hopefully I'm posting this to the correct place.
