well, if it extracts it by connecting to qpopper via TCP and executing commands, i.e. USER, PASS, STAT, RETR..i can't see how it would affect it (off the top of my head) BUT, if it extracts it directly from the spool, then it would affect it, since now your spools have a different path, i.e. SPOOL_DIR/u/s/user instead of just SPOOL_DIR/user --Tony .-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-._.-.
