I know it must > be something really simple and silly :-) if you do domain masquerading of an external domain XXX, mapping it to an internal domain YYY ( using pop3links.tab ), when a message is sent to UNKNOWN@XXX this will be mapped to UNKNOWN@YYY in your XMail server. now if UNKNOWN is not a valid YYY account you might want to have a catch all alias ( * ) that collect all messages sent to invalid accounts in XXX - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
