Hi Thanks Mauricio OK, I have a postfix/dovecot that will send mail, using a sql db 'mail' and the test.php works for IMP I also have a horde db with a table horde_users However, I am struggling to understand how to link a real linux user able to send mail with the virtual users within horde Regards Peter Lawrie
