Hi, I read this today on the qmail list.
This is not the first bad word I've heard said against vpopmail. Would the any of the authors care to respond?

Problem is, that poeople in all 3 locations using same domain for mail adresses. Yup, that's a problem. Fortunately, there's a solution. Enumerate all the local users on each machine, and insert them into virtualdomains like this (using example.com instead of company.com): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:alias-forward [EMAIL PROTECTED]:alias-forward [EMAIL PROTECTED]:alias-forward .... And then you need a ~alias/.qmail-forward file which has this: |forward [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have no idea how to make this work with vpopmail. I don't use vpopmail, nor do I recommend that anybody else use it. I've read the code for vpopmail, and although it's written to industry standards, it's crap. Total and unmitigated crap. Fixed-length buffers everywhere, #ifdef every time you turn around, null-terminated strings instead of counted strings, it's crap; crap, crap, crap. I understand that not everybody can afford a custom-crafted solution from Crynwr Software, but sometimes you only get what you pay for in the open source world. -- Robin Bowes | http://robinbowes.com
