It might be a qpopper issue. We've occasionally seen something like this here - the group of a user's mailbox suddenly shows up as "wheel" instead of "user", our normal default. It doesn't cause a problem, but it does show up in our nightly security reports. I haven't yet reproduced the problem. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- LavaNet Systems Architect -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWJD? "JWRTFM!" - Scott Dorsey (kludge) "JWG" - Eddie Aikau
