Great! it works, thanks. Is it possible now to set the 'from' field to the 'forward' address instead of the username address? The vacation messages comes from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" instead of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and it would be nice to change it. Is this possible?

Replace the alias with a forward. i.e., have ".qmail-$real:$name" contain the user's email address instead of his Maildir. That way, the message will get forwarded and processed as if it was sent to the primary address. QmailAdmin 1.2 and later only create forwards and this was one of the primary reasons for doing so. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/
