Thanks for the reply.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is not important as such, and will be a virtual
user via vpopmail anyway.
What concerns me at the moment is that qmailadmin can't change to directory
and is the main problem.
I put part of the log file in the email to show that qmail also can't change

I can log in with qmailadmin but that's it
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Roger
