If the Exim solution won't work, what I'd do (and in fact do with Postfix) is to have Exim hand each message to (Courier) maildrop (no, procmail would not work in your - or some of my - cases) that gets its home and mail directories from a database - in my case LDAP. There are other Courier alternatives to LDAP, as Sam points out. --Tonni -- Tony Earnshaw Email: tonni at hetnet dot nl ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
