Ah, I was thinking, the connection AFTER authentication is done directly. Hmmm, so the courier-proxy must be realy performant if all traffic goes though... I was searchin for somethin like: smtp auth -> mail.mydomain.tld smtp (from clients) -> mail.mydomain.tld imap/pop3 auth -> mail.mydomain.tld imap/pop3 -> countrybox.mydomain.tld Hmmm, and what if I change the setup that smtp auth -> mail.mydomain.tld smtp (from clients) -> mail.mydomain.tld ($USER should use asmtp to send messages via <mail.mydomain.tld>) imap/pop3 auth -> mbox-<CID>.mydomain.tld imap/pop3 -> mbox-<CID>.mydomain.tld ($USER can connect directly to his/her country-mailbox) which mean, that incoming mails for e.g. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> coming into <mail.mydomain.tld> are forwarded to the mailbox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have read the documentation but not found the right part, how to forward $USER to a specific mbox-server. > Ricky Greetings Michelle -- Linux-User #280138 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org/ Michelle Konzack Apt. 917 ICQ #328449886 50, rue de Soultz MSM LinuxMichi 0033/3/88452356 67100 Strasbourg/France IRC #Debian (irc.icq.com)
