Why would there be any "FROM" for the f1 table? It's not needed in the result.

Anyway, I've come up with a query that actually seems to do what I'm looking 
for;

SELECT a1.username FROM accountuser AS a1
LEFT JOIN payments AS p1 ON (a1.username = p1.username)
LEFT JOIN freeaccounts AS f1 ON (a1.username = f1.username)
WHERE a1.username LIKE 'cit%'
AND a1.imp + a1.pp + a1.se + a1.auth != 0
AND (p1.validdate < UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()) OR p1.validdate IS NULL)
AND (f1.free = false OR f1.free IS NULL)

Thanks for the hints, you who gave them.. ;)

Anders.
