that patch just checks to see if there's a .qmail file to handle the delivery. It doesn't actually attempt delivery at that time. Therefore, vpopmail can't say "hey, that mailbox doesn't exist". If you're running a vpopmail only machine, that patch is useless. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
