I should have been more descriptive than I was, but this is some file from
the source that I've printed that talks about how to make a domain into
your default domain. ie: no system accounts for test.com, but users
authenticate only as 'user', not '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. I'll track it down
further if you like when I get back to work tomorrow.
I was all set until vpopmail spat the no password stuff :)
thanks,
