Hi Patrick when i remember right...
To use the priviligated ports from 1 to 1024 a program must have root-rights. On xmailserver.org see: HowTo non-root XMail - How to run XMail with a non root user account by Sergey Ivanov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.spectr.org/sergey/HowTo-Chrooted-XMail.html Hope it helps.
