I think you can't but you can allways make a an email account and modify it's .qmail for putting all the mail on a specific maildir or whatever > 3.

Tap is not thought exactly for backups and restores. Is for archiving (say, monitoring, legal obligations, limited backup of certain email etc) I'm certainly sure that you can allways make scripts for finding specific e-mails, anyway. > 4.

I use amanda (http://www.amanda.org/) for network backups of whole racks and works like a charm, but you can allways use a priopietary one like Veritas BackupExec or something like that. > Thanks in advance. > Best regards, > Bill > --------------------------------------------------------------------- QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted <http://www.vr.org> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
