Oh, oh! Check the vlimits.default file in ~vpopmail/etc and the .qmailadmin-limits file in the domains directory (most likely the .qmailadmin-limits since you said earlier that other domains work fine). I'll bet something in there is wacky, happened to me before. Regards, Rick

Aha! That's the missing clue. Check the domain limits (vmoddomlimits). You have mailing lists set to 0. Set everything to -1 if you want to allow all types. vmoddomlimits might have an option to delete the limits for a single domain so it will revert back to the defaults. Does vqadmin allow you to edit the limits? aha indeed! yep. it seems several domains have no value at all for many fields - probably very old legacy info, since many domains go back more than three years, created under older versions of vpopmail/vqadmin/qmailadmin. setting the fields to proper values gets it all working. whew. thanks so much - to ken as well of course too!

That's extremely odd. If the domain name is at least 1 character, and the username is 'postmaster' (a case-sensitive comparison), it sets the DOMAIN_ADMIN flag. It also sets it if the admin flag is set via user info. To debug this, you might need to modify set_admin_type() in auth.c in qmailadmin and have it dump some debugging information to find out why it's failing. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/
