Binding is of course done with tcpserver invoking the relevant qmail-smtpd from the respective /var/qmail* hierarchy. Merged universes are more interesting. Do you want a common alias user? The limitations in doing this are based on your OS, not qmail. Ie, how many interfaces you can have, how much disk space, how many processes. Regards.

If you want your instances to have separate alias .qmail files, you'll have to create 2 alias users and change conf-users to reflect this, then recompile. -- Peter Haworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Can't Windows people think?
