You should use a pop3 server that supports virtual users, like popa3d[1]. > you need the users to have an account on the system, so smtp can receive > mail for them afaik. Nou you don't, you just need to configure your MTA to accept mail for them. If you're using exim you could add the following director: virtualuser: driver = aliasfile transport = local_delivery file = /etc/vmail search_type = lsearch Then put the names for the users you want to receive mail for in /etc/vmail. You'd probably want to define a custom transport though. 1. http://www.openwall.com/popa3d/ -- Tim van Erven <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fingerprint: F6C9 61EE 242C C012 OpenPGP Key ID: 712CB811 36D5 BBF8 6310 D557 712C B811
