There is no automatic user creation since each installation is a little bit different in how they store the user data, where the mailboxes go, and who owns them. > I read that I can use LDap or MySql to hold the usernames and > passwords > - is one easier than the other to administer?

My only database experience is with Access) Don't know about those, I use userdb on my system with about 500 users. > Do any of you have HowTo's that aren't on Google you would be > willing to share? No, I just followed the installation instructions on courier-mta.org. Bowie ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
