Hi Warren,
Just a shoot in the dark, but you've configured the root account to
belong in the ctrlaccounts.tab, the root account for xmailserver MUST be
defined in that file and is very simple, just encrypt you favorite
password with XMCrypt and add a line to the ctrlaccounts.tab file, I did
attach this little script to help those in a hurry, all you need to edit
is the mail_soot variable if you installed the server in some other
place than default.
Hope that helps,
Mircea C.
