HD Now I have another question :-)) How do I manage to tell Postfix to treat HD [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a local username? HD What I mean by that is that right now I have translation done at the HD virtual table level under Postfix. [EMAIL PROTECTED] becomes something else HD (john~example.com let's say). I want to tell Postfix to accept all mails for HD [EMAIL PROTECTED] and relay them to Cyrus. Since Cyrus will have a HD [EMAIL PROTECTED], everything should be good. I haven't done this all out myself yet, but I have an itching feeling that postfix is gonna strip everything off after the '@', '@' inclusive. I could be wrong though, it may just pass it over the lmtp socket, though I doubt it. So, you'll more than likely still need some sort of transport map. That could all be held in LDAP though, if you were willing to set it up, so the administration of the maps would be quite trivial. Like I said, I haven't done this much yet though. HD Please tell me if I am confusing you. I really wonder how I can achieve the HD result I want. Nope, it's exactly what I wanted too :-P Btw, I have to agree with the LDAP recommendation. HD P.S. : I agree 100%. I have no experience with LDAP and right now I really HD don't have the time. It will come, just not yet. Too bad. It'd be a very nice addition :) -- Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
