Re: OT: e-mail question
Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If the accounts are dependent on a system user account there can only be one webmaster account. Of course, an alias can be setup that points [EMAIL PROTECTED] to a different local system user like webmaster2. With some e-mail systems I've seen (Windows based) the full e-mail address is used as the account name instead of a system user account. So, in the client the pop3 user would be setup as [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of just webmaster. Get what I'm saying? :-) Thanks!

Get what I'm saying? :-) You have to remember that there's at least 3 places where that address can apply, and they're all independent systems: POP3 or IMAP authentication (POP3/IMAP server), return or sender address (mail client), and inbound routing (SMTP server, like exim). I say that because I detect a little confusion on that point in your posting. Or maybe you're just being brief. :-) That said, sticking point is probably non-Unix POP3/IMAP authentication, and Cyrus can apparently do this using Kerberos, and Courier can do it with a variety of mechanisms.

Re: OT: e-mail question
Keith, Thanks for the reply. I just checked out Courier's site and it looks like it does what I want. I hadn't heard of it until now. I currently use Postfix as an MTA.
