I don't know how to set that up. You need to have a POP3 (and/or IMAP) server that will do this. I don't use Linuxconf so I don't exactly understand what you need. But I do use a POP3 that can supposedly work with Linuxconf. > > When a user logs in to check their email I would like to have it check > > /etc/passwd and /etc/aliases, and if the user/password isn't in their > > it will look in the /etc/vmail/passwd.VIRTUALHOST and > > /etc/vmail/aliases.VIRTUALHOST files. Except that is checks the virtual passwd file first. Look at: http://www.ndn.net/perl/minorfish/gnu-pop3d-list/2000/06/12 and http://www.reedmedia.net/projects/virtualmail/. Jeremy C.
