The users under /home/mailhome/a/... /home/mailhome/b/... are not listed in the /etc/passwd file. What happens was, when a user connects to the pop server (port 110), qmail-popup will run, as follows: qmail-popup renegade.myweb.com.my /bin/checkpassword_mysql /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir - this will check the user and password against the mysql database. The previous machine that we have (what happened was I was the unlucky fellow to do the dirty job of replicating one whole webserver, and making having to make sure everything work :-) ) also had the same setup and things worked, not till yesterday after I replaced the server ...sigh... Now Dave, you mentioned that delivery was not under user *alias*, I think I'l run qmail under user alias? > -Dave --mel
