Dennis, I had though about that, but the target is a mobile laptop. Our in house development we do use VM's for almost everything just for this purpose. Looking into spamd, I think I will just copy the config folder for each instance type and then run the daemon via a bash script to create it against 9 local IP's. I know for things like MySql some people already have some multi-instance scripts laying around. Anyway, I think this will suffice for now. Gary
