The system may be using virtual mailbox domains with some sort of Web interface such as ISPConfig or PostfixAdmin. as root, run: find / -name garyv -type d where garyv is the name of a user you already know exists. Try a couple different names if it comes up blank. In this example, if it comes up with: /home/garyv we might assume the system is using Unix accounts. If it comes up with something like this (possibly in addition to /home) then we may assume it's using virtual domains: /var/vmail/example.org/garyv Of course, the output of 'postconf -n' would be useful. Do you truly not have any idea if there is a web interface involved? What is the output from this: ls -l /var/www Gary V _ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.

Re: OFFTOPIC: Re: create new email address in postfix
