Thanks Jeremy, but smtp auth isn't the answer I was looking for. I know mr. sam and some other profilic people in this sphere thinks pop-before-smtp is dead, is silly and obsolete, but I can say it isn't. The question still, is how to make this work, not to make me start using smtp auth. If was really smart I would stop using an utterly dead (not developed since 1998), and unsupported software like qmail is and use _any_ of the others that is still alive, supported, developed and in much wider use. I bet that's not something you wanted to hear... -- Regards // Oden Eriksson
