That isn't a Qpopper function. If you don't want to block mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] via a filter in your mail client, then you need to do it in your MTA. It isn't clear, but I'm guessing from your description that "domain.com" is a hosted domain on a machine that has some other primary domain name. Assuming you're using Sendmail, and assuming all mail for @domain.com (regardless of username) is to go to you, and assuming you manage mail for hosted domains via Sendmail's virtusertable feature, you need something like this in your virtusertable: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<tab>error:nouser User unknown @domain.com<tab>[EMAIL PROTECTED] That will cause Sendmail to reject mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a "User unknown" error, but will cause mail for any other username @domain.com to be delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or to whatever real address you substitute). If that isn't applicable in your situation, take it up in comp.mail.sendmail (or the support newsgroup or mailing list for whatever MTA you use). It isn't a Qpopper issue. -- Chip Old (Francis E.
