Thanks for the suggestion, I think I need to clarify things a little: The userdb file looks like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] home=/opt/home/vcourier|mail=/opt/home/vcourier/Maildir-vtest-colt|systempw= |gid=10|imappw=|uid=1001 obviously passwords have been taken out for user-group usage. Ok. I have another server which is the old pop3 qmail server which has in /var/qmail/alias a file .qmail-vtest. In this file is : [EMAIL PROTECTED] This basically forwards all messages sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [EMAIL PROTECTED] What do I need to have on the courier server to get this working. Imap works and it authenticates OK. I can use webmail and that works too. Cheers guys.

You've configured 'colt.net' as a virtualdomain, right? If you want to send mail to pigeon.server.colt.net, you'll have to define it as an alias for the hosteddomain. So... colt.net must not be listed in "locals", it should be listed in the hosteddomains file like this (maybe?): >> colt.net pigeon.server.colt.net colt.net << Note the tab between "pigeon..." and "colt.net". See the man page for makehosteddomains for more information. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: DEDICATED SERVERS only $89!
