Tony,
Thanks for the info, but I what I really need is the opposite.
I need the pop username mapped to the real user and have the
process appear transparent to the user.
Ex: [EMAIL PROTECTED] logs in as jim
then the popserver maps the user name(jim) to usr0001
and [EMAIL PROTECTED] logs in as jim and the popserver maps the user name
(again jim)
to usr0002 ...etc.
My problem is I have 68 mail domains that I have been told to move to a
linux box
and about half of them use info as their pop account, as you can imagine
I do not
want to tell clients that their username is now info1 info2 ...etc
because info is
being used by another client. I know that this can be done because we
previously
used iserver for our hosting and as long as I could remember they had
this service,
I just never new how they did it and they aren't telling.
Ever try a setup like this?
Thanks again for the info,
Regards,
Duncan Idaho

domain aliases can have the same username (xxxxx@), but you cannot have
more than one of the same system username. In this instance, you should
assign unique pop3 usernames, like DOMA0001, DOMA0002 and DOMB001,
DOMB002
and assign your aliases as necessary.
For example, my sendmail.db looks like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] busa0001
[EMAIL PROTECTED] busa0002
@bisazzausa.com bisazza
[EMAIL PROTECTED] busa0001
[EMAIL PROTECTED] busa0002
@mosaictile.com bisazza
[EMAIL PROTECTED] othr0001
[EMAIL PROTECTED] othr0002
etc...
