Muyiwa, thanks so much for your EXCELLENT tutorial; I've not found its equal anywhere (and I've done a bit of searching). It's ALMOST enough to make me want to use FC4 instead of Debian!
I'm curious -- how did you get around the username issue in regard to email addresses? If I simply follow the directions you've listed, I end up with BackupPC trying to send emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] when outlook files are locked. I'd love even more to know how to eliminate the "DOMAIN\" part of the login so that my domain users could log in simply as "username", which would end up resolving the email address problem. I've only got one domain, so namespace collision isn't a problem. Thanks!
